The ICD-10 code for Cicatricial entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid is H02.019.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.019 – Cicatricial entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid

What it is

This code identifies inward turning of an eyelid caused by scarring, with the eye and eyelid side not specified. The lid margin rubs against the eye because scar tissue has altered its position.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include eyelid inversion, lash-to-corneal contact, tearing, irritation, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H02.019 when the provider documents cicatricial entropion but does not specify the eye or eyelid. It also fits when scarring is the stated cause and laterality is missing or unclear. Check documentation if records mention a different eyelid disorder.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for spastic or age-related entropion without scarring. Do not assign it when the note clearly identifies a different eye or eyelid condition.

Coding tip

If laterality is documented, choose the more specific code instead of the unspecified option.
