ICD-10 Code H02.115 – Cicatricial ectropion of left lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.115 – Cicatricial ectropion of left lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies outward turning of the left lower eyelid caused by scarring. The eyelid no longer rests normally against the eye, which can leave the surface exposed.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include visible eversion of the lower lid, tearing, irritation, and exposure of the conjunctiva. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.115 when the record documents cicatricial ectropion specifically affecting the left lower eyelid. Apply it when the cause is scarring, not simple laxity or temporary swelling. Confirm laterality and the lower-lid location in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ectropion without scarring, or when the right eyelid or upper eyelid is documented instead. Check documentation if the cause or side is unclear.
Coding tip
Code the exact eyelid and laterality only when the provider states them clearly.
