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

Coding tip

Confirm laterality and whether the eyelid is specified before coding; missing detail changes the correct ICD-10 code.
