H27.133
BillablePosterior dislocation of lens, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
The lens of both eyes has moved backward from its normal position, which can affect vision and may require surgical correction. This condition can occur due to trauma, genetic disorders, or age-related changes.
Coding Tips
- •Verify that the dislocation is confirmed as bilateral (affecting both eyes) before assigning this code; if only one eye is affected, use the unilateral code H27.131 instead
- •Document the underlying cause if known (trauma, Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, etc.) as this may require additional coding and affects treatment planning
