Unspecified entropion of right upper eyelid

This code describes an inward turning of the right upper eyelid margin, where the eyelashes rub against the cornea or conjunctiva, without further specification of the cause or type. This condition can lead to irritation, foreign body sensation, tearing, and potential corneal damage.

Use this code when documentation indicates entropion affecting the right upper eyelid, but the specific type (e.g., spastic, cicatricial, involutional, congenital) is not identified. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes clearly state "entropion of right upper eyelid" without additional detail regarding its etiology.

• Do not use this code if the specific type of entropion (e.g., spastic, cicatricial) is documented; instead, select a more specific code from the H02.0- series.
• Always specify laterality (right, left, bilateral) and eyelid (upper, lower) when documented.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis if it is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it is a co-existing condition being addressed.
