ICD-10 Code H02.022 – Mechanical entropion of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.022 – Mechanical entropion of right lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies inward turning of the right lower eyelid caused by a mechanical factor, such as scarring, swelling, or a mass. The lid edge rubs against the eye instead of resting normally.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lash-to-eye contact, tearing, irritation, redness, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.022 when the record clearly states mechanical entropion affecting the right lower eyelid. It applies when the cause is documented as structural or external rather than involutional or spastic. If the note only says “entropion” without laterality or cause, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left-sided or unspecified entropion, or for entropion without a documented mechanical cause. Check documentation if the provider describes a different eyelid disorder.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the mechanical cause in the note before assigning H02.022.
