ICD-10 Code H02.025 – Mechanical entropion of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.025 – Mechanical entropion of left lower eyelid
What it is
H02.025 identifies inward turning of the left lower eyelid caused by a mechanical factor. The lid margin rubs against the eye because of an external or structural force, not a congenital defect.
Clinical signs
Common findings include eyelid inversion, lash contact with the globe, irritation, tearing, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the cause or laterality is unclear.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states mechanical entropion affecting the left lower eyelid. It fits cases where a documented mass, scarring, or other mechanical pull causes the lid to turn inward. You should confirm the left lower lid and the mechanical nature in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for entropion without a documented mechanical cause or for the wrong eyelid or side. Check documentation if the condition is congenital, spastic, or unspecified.
Coding tip
Always match laterality and the documented cause before assigning H02.025.
