The ICD-10 code for Spastic entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid is H02.046.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.046 – Spastic entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid

What it is

This code identifies spastic inward turning of the left eyelid, without specifying the upper or lower lid. The lid margin may rub against the eye surface and cause irritation.

Clinical signs

Common findings include eyelid inversion, tearing, foreign-body sensation, and redness from corneal or conjunctival irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H02.046 when the record documents spastic entropion affecting the left eye and does not identify which eyelid is involved. It also fits when the provider notes lid spasm with inward turning and laterality is clearly left. Check documentation if the cause or eyelid type is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for entropion of the upper or lower left eyelid when the specific lid is documented. Do not use it for right eye, bilateral, or nonspastic entropion.

Coding tip

Code the most specific eyelid description available; if the note only says “left eye” and does not name the lid, H02.046 is appropriate.
