ICD-10 Code H02.7 – Other and unspecified degenerative disorders of eyelid and periocular area (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.7 – Other and unspecified degenerative disorders of eyelid and periocular area
What it is
H02.7 identifies degenerative changes affecting the eyelid or nearby periocular tissues when the exact disorder is not specified or does not fit a more precise code. Use it for chronic, nontraumatic tissue degeneration documented in the eyelid region.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible thinning, laxity, atrophy, or other degenerative change of the eyelid or periocular skin. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a degenerative eyelid or periocular disorder but does not name a more specific diagnosis. It also fits cases described as other or unspecified degeneration of the eyelid area. If the note names a distinct eyelid condition, code that diagnosis instead.
Do not use for
Do not use H02.7 for traumatic, infectious, inflammatory, or neoplastic eyelid conditions. Also avoid it when documentation supports a more specific eyelid disorder; check documentation.
Coding tip
Query for the exact eyelid diagnosis if the record only says “degenerative changes” or “unspecified periocular disorder.”
