2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.114 – Cicatricial ectropion of left upper eyelid

What it is

H02.114 identifies outward turning of the left upper eyelid caused by scarring. The lid margin pulls away from the eye, which can expose the ocular surface.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include lid eversion, conjunctival exposure, tearing, irritation, and incomplete eyelid closure. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents cicatricial ectropion specifically affecting the left upper eyelid. It fits cases where scarring from trauma, surgery, inflammation, or another cause has produced the malposition. If laterality or the cicatricial cause is not documented, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for ectropion of another eyelid, noncicatricial ectropion, or unspecified eyelid malposition. If the record does not confirm scarring-related ectropion, choose a more accurate code.

Coding tip

Confirm both laterality and that the ectropion is cicatricial before assigning H02.114.
