The ICD-10 code for Spastic entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid is H02.049.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.049 – Spastic entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid

What it is

This code identifies spastic entropion affecting an unspecified eye and unspecified eyelid. The eyelid turns inward because of muscle spasm, causing the lid margin to rub against the eye.

Clinical signs

Common findings include inward eyelid turning, irritation, tearing, redness, and a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record states spastic entropion but does not specify the eye or eyelid involved. It also fits when the provider documents inward lid spasm without laterality details. You should code the condition as documented, not infer the missing eye or lid.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for entropion with a documented eye or eyelid laterality, or for other eyelid malpositions. Check documentation if the note describes a different cause of eyelid inversion.

Coding tip

If laterality is available elsewhere in the chart, use the more specific ICD-10-CM code instead of this unspecified option.
