Paresis of accommodation, right eye

This code indicates a partial or complete paralysis of the ciliary muscle in the right eye, leading to an inability to focus on near objects. This condition impairs the eye's ability to change its refractive power, resulting in blurred vision for close-up tasks.

Use this code when documentation specifies paresis or paralysis of accommodation affecting the patient's right eye. This diagnosis is typically supported by an ophthalmological examination noting impaired near vision and reduced accommodative amplitude in the right eye.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from spasm of accommodation (H52.51-) or other refractive errors.
• Consider any underlying causes, such as neurological conditions or medication side effects, which may require additional coding.
