ICD-10 Code H02.02 – Mechanical entropion of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.02 – Mechanical entropion of eyelid
What it is
Mechanical entropion of the eyelid means the lid turns inward because of a physical pulling or pushing force, such as scarring, swelling, or a mass. This inward position can cause the lashes to rub the eye.
Clinical signs
Look for inward rotation of the eyelid margin with lash-corneal contact, irritation, tearing, or foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents entropion caused by a mechanical factor rather than age-related laxity or muscle spasm. It may apply when scarring, edema, or a lesion is noted as the cause. Code the documented eyelid and laterality if available.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for congenital, spastic, or involutional entropion unless the record clearly states a mechanical cause. Check documentation if the etiology is not specified.
Coding tip
Confirm the provider links the eyelid inversion to a mechanical cause before assigning H02.02.
