ICD-10 Code H02.532 – Eyelid retraction right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.532 – Eyelid retraction right lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies abnormal upward or downward positioning of the right lower eyelid, with the lid sitting too far away from the eye surface. It is used when the record specifically documents right lower eyelid retraction.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible lid retraction, increased scleral show, and incomplete eyelid closure on the affected side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.532 when the provider documents retraction of the right lower eyelid as the diagnosis or a confirmed exam finding. You may also use it when the note clearly states lower lid retraction affecting only the right side, even if the underlying cause is not specified.
If the chart describes eyelid malposition without laterality or without specifying the lower lid, check documentation before coding. Make sure the condition is not being recorded as a different eyelid disorder or a postoperative change.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left-sided, bilateral, or upper eyelid retraction. Do not assign it when the record only mentions eyelid swelling, ptosis, or nonspecific eyelid abnormality.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and lid position in the provider note before assigning H02.532.
