ICD-10 Code H02.35 – Blepharochalasis left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.35 – Blepharochalasis left lower eyelid
What it is
Use this code for blepharochalasis affecting the left lower eyelid. It refers to recurrent swelling that can leave the eyelid stretched, thin, or lax over time.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include episodic eyelid edema with later redundant, wrinkled skin or drooping of the affected lid. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign H02.35 when the provider documents blepharochalasis specifically in the left lower eyelid. Use it for chronic or recurrent cases where the anatomic site is clearly stated. If the note only says eyelid swelling without blepharochalasis, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific eyelid edema, infection, trauma, or ptosis without documented blepharochalasis. If the laterality or eyelid is different, select the matching code.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid location in the provider note before assigning the code.
