2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.882 – Meibomian gland dysfunction right lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies meibomian gland dysfunction affecting the right lower eyelid. Use it when documentation specifies impaired meibomian gland function in that exact eyelid.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid margin irritation, blocked or abnormal gland secretions, and symptoms of dry eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.882 when the provider documents meibomian gland dysfunction limited to the right lower eyelid. It is appropriate for office, ophthalmology, or problem-list documentation that clearly names this side and location. If laterality or eyelid is not specified, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for meibomian gland dysfunction in a different eyelid or for unspecified eyelid involvement. Do not substitute it for general dry eye without documented meibomian gland dysfunction.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and eyelid location in the note before assigning H02.882.
