ICD-10 Code H02.833 – Dermatochalasis of right eye, unspecified eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.833 – Dermatochalasis of right eye, unspecified eyelid
What it is
Dermatochalasis is excess, loose eyelid skin on the right side. This code applies when the eyelid affected is not otherwise specified.
Clinical signs
You may see redundant upper eyelid skin, a heavy lid appearance, or lid skin that drapes over the lash line. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.833 when the provider documents dermatochalasis of the right eye and does not identify the eyelid as upper or lower. It is appropriate for routine diagnosis coding, preoperative assessment, or chart review when the record clearly supports the condition.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the documentation specifies a different eyelid, such as upper or lower, or if the finding is due to another eyelid disorder. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and eyelid specificity before assigning the code.
