ICD-10 Code H02.112 – Cicatricial ectropion of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.112 – Cicatricial ectropion of right lower eyelid
What it is
Cicatricial ectropion of the right lower eyelid is outward turning of the eyelid caused by scarring. The lid no longer rests normally against the eye, which can expose the surface of the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible outward eversion of the right lower lid, tearing, irritation, and incomplete eyelid closure. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.112 when the record specifically documents cicatricial ectropion affecting the right lower eyelid. This fits cases where scarring is the cause, such as after trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation, if documented. Code the laterality exactly as recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of the upper eyelid, left eye, or unspecified laterality. Do not use it when the chart describes a non-cicatricial cause; check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the cicatricial cause and right lower-lid laterality before assigning H02.112.
