ICD-10 Code H02.012 – Cicatricial entropion of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.012 – Cicatricial entropion of right lower eyelid
What it is
H02.012 identifies inward turning of the right lower eyelid caused by scarring. This position can make the lashes rub against the eye surface and irritate the conjunctiva or cornea.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lash-corneal contact, tearing, foreign-body sensation, redness, and irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the record does not clearly describe cicatricial scarring.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents cicatricial entropion specifically affecting the right lower eyelid. The record should support scarring as the cause, not spasm or congenital malposition. If laterality or cause is unclear, check documentation before assigning H02.012.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for entropion of the left eyelid, upper eyelid, or unspecified eyelid. Avoid it when the chart describes spastic or congenital entropion instead of cicatricial change.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and cicatricial cause in the note before coding H02.012.
