ICD-10 Code H02.132 – Senile ectropion of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.132 – Senile ectropion of right lower eyelid
What it is
H02.132 identifies outward turning of the right lower eyelid caused by age-related laxity. This exposes the inner lid surface and can affect eye protection and tear drainage.
Clinical signs
Common findings include lid eversion, tearing, irritation, redness, and a sensation of dryness or foreign body. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record specifically states senile ectropion affecting the right lower eyelid. It is appropriate when the provider documents age-related lid laxity rather than trauma, spasm, or paralysis. Check laterality carefully before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for ectropion of the left or unspecified eyelid, or for non-senile causes such as cicatricial or paralytic ectropion. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and etiology in the note, because H02.132 is specific to senile ectropion of the right lower eyelid.
