ICD-10 Code H02.116 – Cicatricial ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.116 – Cicatricial ectropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
This code describes outward turning of the left eyelid caused by scar tissue. It is used when the record specifies the left eye but does not identify which eyelid is involved.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eyelid eversion, exposed conjunctiva, tearing, irritation, and incomplete closure of the eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.116 when the provider documents cicatricial ectropion affecting the left eye and does not specify upper or lower eyelid. It also fits follow-up visits where the condition is still active and the laterality and unspecified eyelid are clearly recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record identifies a different eyelid or a non-cicatricial form of ectropion. Check documentation when the cause, laterality, or eyelid is not clearly stated.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and eyelid details in the note before assigning H02.116.
