ICD-10 Code H02.014 – Cicatricial entropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.014 – Cicatricial entropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
H02.014 identifies inward turning of the left upper eyelid caused by scarring. The lid margin rubs against the eye, which can irritate the cornea and conjunctiva.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lash-to-eye contact, tearing, foreign-body sensation, and ocular irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the scarring cause and laterality.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically documents cicatricial entropion affecting the left upper eyelid. It applies when scarring is the underlying mechanism, such as after inflammation, trauma, or prior surgery. Code the condition as documented; check documentation if the cause is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use H02.014 for entropion of another eyelid or the opposite eye. It is also not appropriate for noncicatricial entropion or unspecified eyelid malposition.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the cicatricial cause in the note before assigning H02.014.
