ICD-10 Code H02.142 – Spastic ectropion of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.142 – Spastic ectropion of right lower eyelid
What it is
Use this code for outward turning of the right lower eyelid caused by spasm or tightening of the eyelid tissues. The lid margin no longer rests normally against the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible eversion of the right lower lid, exposure of the inner eyelid surface, tearing, and irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign H02.142 when the provider documents spastic ectropion specifically affecting the right lower eyelid. Use it for encounters focused on that side and that type of ectropion. If the note only says ectropion without laterality or cause, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion of the left or unspecified eyelid, or for nonspastic forms unless documented. Do not substitute it for general eyelid malposition without a confirmed diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code the documented laterality exactly; H02.142 is specific to the right lower eyelid.
