ICD-10 Code H02.533 – Eyelid retraction right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.533 – Eyelid retraction right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
H02.533 identifies eyelid retraction affecting the right eye when the specific eyelid is not documented. It means the eyelid sits higher or is pulled back more than normal, exposing more of the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include increased scleral show, widened palpebral fissure, and incomplete eyelid coverage of the eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states right-eye eyelid retraction but does not specify upper or lower eyelid. It is appropriate for ophthalmology or surgical notes describing retraction as an active diagnosis. If laterality or eyelid location is documented, code more specifically.
Do not use for
Do not use it when the chart only mentions eyelid ptosis, lagophthalmos, or general eyelid abnormality without retraction. Check documentation if the note describes a different eyelid disorder.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and whether the upper or lower eyelid is named before assigning an unspecified eyelid code.
