The ICD-10 code for Unspecified entropion of eyelid is H02.00.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.00 – Unspecified entropion of eyelid

What it is

Unspecified entropion means an eyelid turns inward, but the record does not identify the eyelid, cause, or laterality. This inward turning can let lashes rub the eye surface.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include eyelid margin inversion, eye irritation, tearing, redness, or foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H02.00 when the provider documents entropion but does not specify which eyelid is involved or whether it is congenital, spastic, or cicatricial. It also fits when the note only says “entropion” and no further detail is available. Check documentation before assigning a more specific code.

Do not use for

Do not use this code if the record identifies a specific eyelid, laterality, or etiology. Do not use it for ectropion or other eyelid malpositions.

Coding tip

Query for laterality and cause whenever the chart says only “entropion.”
