ICD-10 Code H02.015 – Cicatricial entropion of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.015 – Cicatricial entropion of left lower eyelid
What it is
H02.015 identifies inward turning of the left lower eyelid caused by scarring. The lid margin rubs against the eye, which can irritate the cornea and conjunctiva.
Clinical signs
Common findings include eyelid inversion, lash contact with the eyeball, tearing, irritation, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states cicatricial entropion affecting the left lower eyelid. It applies when scarring is the documented cause, such as after trauma, surgery, or inflammation. Confirm laterality and lid location in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use it for entropion without a documented cicatricial cause, or for the right or upper eyelid. Check documentation if the record only says “entropion” or does not specify the affected side.
Coding tip
Match the code to both the scar-related cause and the exact eyelid laterality before assigning H02.015.
