2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.001 – Unspecified entropion of right upper eyelid

What it is

H02.001 identifies inward turning of the right upper eyelid when the documentation does not specify the cause. This condition can cause the lashes or lid margin to rub against the eye.

Clinical signs

Common findings include irritation, tearing, foreign-body sensation, and redness from eyelid contact with the cornea or conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record clearly states entropion of the right upper eyelid but does not identify it as cicatricial, spastic, or involutional. You should also use it when laterality and lid are documented, but the type remains unspecified.

Do not use for

Do not use H02.001 if the chart specifies a different eyelid, a different type of entropion, or an unrelated eyelid malposition. Check documentation.

Coding tip

Verify both laterality and eyelid level before assigning this code, because missing detail may point to a different H02 category.
