Question: Is there a problem submitting H50.00 Unspecified esotropia for pseudostrabismus?

Answer: It’s best to stay with Q10.3 Other congenital malformations of eyelid from ICD-10-CM for Ophthalmology: The Complete Reference, chapter 17, “Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities.” You don’t want to diagnose strabismus when it is not evident.
