Serous conjunctivitis, except viral, right eye

This code signifies inflammation of the conjunctiva characterized by a watery, non-purulent discharge in the right eye, excluding cases caused by a viral infection. It indicates a non-infectious or non-viral infectious etiology for the serous inflammation of the ocular surface.

Apply this code when documentation specifies serous conjunctivitis affecting the right eye, and explicitly rules out a viral cause. This is appropriate for allergic conjunctivitis, chemical conjunctivitis, or other non-viral irritative causes presenting with serous discharge.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right eye" and explicitly excludes a viral etiology.
• Distinguish from purulent conjunctivitis (H10.0-) and other specific forms of conjunctivitis.
• If the laterality is unspecified, consider H10.239.
