I am trying to code a chart and one of the diagnoses is that the patient is legally blind in his left eye, the right just states he had cataract surgery. What would be the best code to use? When I look it up, it gives different categories which are unknown. Should I just use Legally blind as defined in the USA (H54.8)? Or does that cover only both eyes? Thank you in advance for any help.
