ICD-10 Code H02.106 – Unspecified ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.106 – Unspecified ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code identifies outward turning of the left eyelid, without specifying the upper or lower lid. It is used when ectropion is documented but the eyelid detail is not stated.
Clinical signs
Common findings include eyelid laxity, visible eversion, tearing, irritation, or exposure of the conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.106 when the chart clearly documents ectropion of the left eye and does not identify which eyelid is involved. It also fits when the provider records “unspecified eyelid” or equivalent wording. Check documentation if laterality or lid location is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record specifies the upper or lower left eyelid, because a more specific code applies. Avoid it when the condition is on the right eye or when documentation does not confirm ectropion.
Coding tip
Code to the most specific eyelid detail documented; if the eyelid is not named, H02.106 is appropriate.
