ICD-10 Code H02.023 – Mechanical entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.023 – Mechanical entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
H02.023 identifies inward turning of the right eyelid caused by a mechanical factor, with the specific eyelid not documented. This code tells you the condition affects the right eye and that the eyelid detail is unspecified.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid margin turning inward, lash contact with the eye, irritation, tearing, redness, or foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents mechanical entropion of the right eye but does not specify whether the upper or lower eyelid is involved. It also fits when laterality is clear, but eyelid detail is missing in the record. If the note identifies a different cause or a different eyelid, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for entropion of the left eye or when the right eyelid is specifically documented as upper or lower. Do not use it for spastic or congenital entropion unless the record supports mechanical entropion.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid type in the note; if the eyelid is named, choose the more specific code.
