When to use this code

Use this code when the record specifically states senile ectropion affecting the right lower eyelid. It is appropriate when the provider documents age-related lid laxity rather than trauma, spasm, or paralysis. Check laterality carefully before coding.

Do not use for

Do not use it for ectropion of the left or unspecified eyelid, or for non-senile causes such as cicatricial or paralytic ectropion. Check documentation.

Coding tip

Verify both laterality and etiology in the note, because H02.132 is specific to senile ectropion of the right lower eyelid.
