What it is

Clinical signs

Typical findings include outward lid eversion, tearing, irritation, and exposure of the conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H02.109 when the provider documents ectropion but does not state which eye or which eyelid is involved. It also fits when laterality is missing or the note is too vague to assign a more specific code.

Do not use for

Do not use this code if the record identifies a specific eye, eyelid, or both sides; choose the more precise option instead. Check documentation when ectropion is part of a different eyelid disorder.

Coding tip

Query for laterality before defaulting to an unspecified code.
