ICD-10 Code H02.146 – Spastic ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.146 – Spastic ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
Use this code for spastic outward turning of the left eyelid when the specific eyelid is not documented. It describes an involuntary lid malposition affecting the left eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid eversion, tearing, irritation, and exposure of the eye surface. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign H02.146 when the record states spastic ectropion of the left eye but does not identify the upper or lower eyelid. Use it for encounters documenting the condition as the active diagnosis. If the chart specifies a different eyelid or another cause, code that documentation instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when the record identifies the upper or lower eyelid, or when ectropion is due to a different documented cause. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and whether the eyelid is specified before coding; missing detail changes the correct ICD-10 code.
