ICD-10 Code H02.211 – Cicatricial lagophthalmos right upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.211 – Cicatricial lagophthalmos right upper eyelid
What it is
Cicatricial lagophthalmos right upper eyelid means the right upper lid cannot close fully because scar tissue has shortened or tightened the eyelid. This code identifies the right-sided, scar-related form only.
Clinical signs
Common findings include incomplete eyelid closure, visible lid shortening, and exposure of the eye surface when the patient tries to blink or sleep. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.211 when the record specifically documents cicatricial lagophthalmos affecting the right upper eyelid. It may appear after trauma, surgery, burns, or other scarring conditions, but you should code only what is documented. If laterality or cause is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for lagophthalmos from nerve palsy, mechanical eyelid problems without scarring, or unspecified laterality. If the note does not confirm scar-related right upper eyelid involvement, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both the scar cause and the right upper eyelid laterality before assigning H02.211.
