ICD-10 Code H02.005 – Unspecified entropion of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.005 – Unspecified entropion of left lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies inward turning of the left lower eyelid without a more specific type documented. The eyelid margin may rub against the eye, but the record does not state whether it is involutional, cicatricial, or spastic.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lash-to-cornea contact, tearing, irritation, redness, or a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.005 when the provider documents entropion of the left lower eyelid and does not specify the cause or subtype. It also fits when the note confirms the condition but leaves the etiology unclear. Check documentation if both eyelids or a different eyelid are involved.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart specifies a different eyelid, a different laterality, or a specific entropion type. Do not assign it when the documentation describes eyelid malposition without confirming entropion.
Coding tip
Code the documented eyelid and laterality exactly; unspecified only applies when the subtype is not stated.
