ICD-10 Code H02.036 – Senile entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.036 – Senile entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
H02.036 identifies age-related inward turning of the left eyelid, without specifying upper or lower lid. This condition can cause the lid margin or lashes to rub against the eye surface.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, ocular irritation, tearing, redness, and a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents senile entropion of the left eye and does not identify which eyelid is involved. It is appropriate for age-related inward turning limited to the left side. Check documentation if the record also mentions spasm, scarring, or a different eyelid type.
Do not use for
Do not use H02.036 if the chart specifies the upper or lower left eyelid, or if the entropion is not age-related. Check documentation for spastic, cicatricial, or congenital eyelid disorders.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and lid specificity before coding, because “unspecified eyelid” is only correct when the record leaves that detail out.
