ICD-10 Code H02.33 – Blepharochalasis right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.33 – Blepharochalasis right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
Blepharochalasis is a condition with recurrent eyelid swelling that can lead to thinning, looseness, and drooping of the eyelid skin. This code identifies the right eye when the eyelid is not further specified.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include episodic painless eyelid edema, stretched or wrinkled eyelid skin, and possible ptosis or contour change after repeated episodes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents blepharochalasis affecting the right eye and does not name the upper or lower eyelid. It also fits cases where the provider describes recurrent eyelid laxity or post-swelling eyelid changes on the right side. Check documentation if laterality or eyelid is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonspecific eyelid edema without blepharochalasis, or when the left eye or a specific eyelid is documented instead. If the note says only “eyelid swelling,” check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the documented eye and eyelid level exactly; unspecified eyelid means you should not assume upper or lower eyelid.
