ICD-10 Code H02.006 – Unspecified entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Unspecified entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid is H02.006.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.006 – Unspecified entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid

What it is

This code identifies entropion affecting the left eye when the eyelid involved is not specified. Entropion means the eyelid turns inward, so the lashes or lid margin may rub the eye.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include inward turning of the eyelid, eye irritation, tearing, redness, and a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H02.006 when the record states entropion of the left eye but does not identify the upper or lower eyelid. It also fits when the provider documents left-sided entropion without further detail. You should code the documented level of specificity and avoid guessing the eyelid.

Do not use for

Do not use this code if the chart specifies the upper or lower left eyelid, because a more specific code exists. Do not use it for other eyelid malpositions or right-eye entropion.

Coding tip

If laterality is clear but eyelid detail is missing, code the unspecified eyelid only after checking the note for a more specific description.
