2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.135 – Senile ectropion of left lower eyelid
What it is
H02.135 identifies age-related outward turning of the left lower eyelid. This condition can leave the eyelid margin away from the eye surface and may expose the conjunctiva.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include lid laxity, outward eversion of the lower lid, tearing, irritation, and redness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents senile ectropion specifically affecting the left lower eyelid. It is appropriate for age-related lid malposition, not for traumatic or paralytic causes. If laterality or cause is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of the right or unspecified eyelid, or for non-senile causes such as trauma or facial nerve palsy. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and that the provider attributes the ectropion to senile change before assigning H02.135.
