ICD-10 Code H02.202 – Unspecified lagophthalmos right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.202 – Unspecified lagophthalmos right lower eyelid
What it is
This code identifies lagophthalmos affecting the right lower eyelid when the chart does not specify a cause or type. It means the eyelid does not close fully, leaving part of the eye exposed.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include incomplete eyelid closure, visible scleral exposure, and possible dryness or irritation of the eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.202 when the provider documents lagophthalmos of the right lower eyelid and does not name it as paralytic, cicatricial, or another specified form. It also fits when the record is limited to “unspecified” lagophthalmos. Check documentation if laterality or cause is clarified.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the documentation identifies a different eyelid, a specified etiology, or a non-lagophthalmos eyelid disorder. If the note is ambiguous, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and whether the provider specified the cause before assigning an unspecified code.
