ICD-10 Code H02.029 – Mechanical entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.029 – Mechanical entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies inward turning of an eyelid caused by a mechanical factor, such as scarring, mass effect, or tissue distortion. The eye and eyelid are not further specified in the documentation.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lashes rubbing the eye, irritation, tearing, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.029 when the record clearly documents mechanical entropion but does not specify which eye or eyelid is involved. It also fits cases where the cause is mechanical and the laterality or exact lid is not recorded. Check documentation if another entropion type is described.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for congenital, cicatricial, or spastic entropion unless the provider documents a mechanical cause. Avoid it when the chart specifies the affected eye or eyelid and a more specific code is available.
Coding tip
Confirm that the note supports a mechanical cause and that laterality is truly unspecified before assigning H02.029.
