ICD-10 Code H02.044 – Spastic entropion of left upper eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.044 – Spastic entropion of left upper eyelid
What it is
Spastic entropion of the left upper eyelid means the eyelid turns inward because of involuntary muscle spasm. This causes the lid margin and lashes to rub against the eye.
Clinical signs
Look for inward turning of the left upper lid, ocular irritation, tearing, and foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.044 when the provider documents spastic entropion specifically affecting the left upper eyelid. It is appropriate when the inward turning is due to spasm rather than a different eyelid disorder. If the record does not clearly identify laterality or type, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for entropion of another eyelid or for unspecified eyelid inversion. Do not assign it when the chart describes a different eyelid malposition or a nonspastic cause.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the word “spastic” in the provider note before assigning H02.044.
