2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.102 – Unspecified ectropion of right lower eyelid

What it is

Use this code for outward turning of the right lower eyelid when the specific cause is not documented. It indicates the lid margin no longer rests normally against the eye.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include exposed conjunctiva, tearing, irritation, and possible redness or dryness of the eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Assign H02.102 when the provider documents unspecified ectropion affecting the right lower eyelid. Use it for cases described as ectropion without a stated type, cause, or further laterality detail. If the record identifies a different eyelid or a specific etiology, code that information instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code when the chart specifies cicatricial, involutional, paralytic, or congenital ectropion. Also avoid it if the documentation names another eyelid or does not confirm ectropion at all.

Coding tip

Check the note for laterality and cause before selecting H02.102; unspecified codes should match the exact documentation.
