Unspecified disorder of eye movements

This code signifies a general, unspecified problem with how a patient's eyes move. It indicates that the patient is experiencing abnormal eye movements, but the specific type or cause of the disorder has not been identified or documented.

Use this code when documentation indicates a disorder of eye movements without further specification of the type (e.g., nystagmus, ophthalmoplegia, saccadic dysfunction). This code is appropriate when the physician notes "abnormal eye movements" or "disordered ocular motility" without additional diagnostic detail.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific diagnosis for the eye movement disorder is available (e.g., nystagmus, strabismus).
• Query the provider for more specific documentation if possible to allow for a more precise code assignment.
• This code should be used as a last resort when no other specific code for an eye movement disorder can be supported by the medical record.
