ICD-10 Code H02.01 – Cicatricial entropion of eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.01 – Cicatricial entropion of eyelid
What it is
Cicatricial entropion of eyelid means the eyelid turns inward because scar tissue has shortened or tightened the lid. This inward rotation can rub the eyelashes against the eye surface.
Clinical signs
Look for inwardly turned eyelid margin, lash-corneal irritation, tearing, foreign-body sensation, and possible redness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.01 when the provider documents cicatricial entropion caused by scarring of the eyelid. It fits cases after trauma, inflammation, surgery, or other documented causes of lid scarring. Code the condition only when the record identifies the cicatricial type.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for spastic or involutional entropion unless the record specifically states cicatricial entropion. Check documentation if the eyelid turning inward is not linked to scar tissue.
Coding tip
Confirm the note names cicatricial entropion and documents the affected eyelid before assigning H02.01.
