ICD-10 Code H02.024 – Mechanical entropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.024 – Mechanical entropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
H02.024 identifies inward turning of the left upper eyelid caused by a mechanical factor, such as scarring, mass effect, or tissue distortion. The eyelid margin rubs against the eye surface.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include inward-rotated lashes or lid margin, eye irritation, tearing, redness, and a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents mechanical entropion affecting the left upper eyelid. It applies when the inward turning is due to a mechanical cause, not a congenital or spastic form. Confirm laterality and eyelid level in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for entropion of another eyelid, unspecified laterality, or non-mechanical entropion. Check documentation if the cause is not clearly mechanical.
Coding tip
Match the code to both the affected side and the upper eyelid, and verify that the record supports a mechanical cause.
