Unqualified visual loss, right eye, normal vision left eye

This code signifies a significant visual impairment in the right eye, where the level of vision is not specified (e.g., "low vision," "partial sight," or "blindness"), while the left eye maintains normal visual acuity. It indicates a unilateral visual deficit without further qualification of the severity in the affected eye.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a visual impairment in the right eye, but the specific degree of vision loss (e.g., light perception, hand motion, 20/200) is not recorded. This is appropriate when the left eye is explicitly noted as having normal vision.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right eye" for the visual loss and "normal vision" for the left eye.
• Do not use this code if a more specific level of visual impairment (e.g., blindness, low vision) is documented for the right eye.
• Verify laterality carefully; codes exist for left eye, bilateral, and unspecified visual loss.
