Low vision right eye category 2, normal vision left eye

This code signifies a patient experiencing moderately impaired vision in their right eye, classified as category 2 low vision, while maintaining normal visual acuity in their left eye. This unilateral vision impairment impacts daily activities and may require visual aids or rehabilitation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates low vision category 2 (e.g., best-corrected visual acuity between 20/70 and 20/200) in the right eye, with the left eye's vision noted as normal. This is appropriate for patients undergoing assessment for visual impairment or receiving services related to their right eye's reduced vision.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented for both eyes.
• Distinguish from other low vision categories based on documented visual acuity measurements.
• Always review the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's notes for specific visual acuity findings and the assigned low vision category.
