Unspecified entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid

This code signifies an inward turning of the right eyelid margin, where the lashes rub against the cornea, without further specification regarding the type of entropion (e.g., spastic, cicatricial, senile) or the specific eyelid affected (upper or lower). This condition can lead to corneal irritation, foreign body sensation, tearing, and potential corneal damage.

Use this code when documentation indicates entropion of the right eye but lacks details about the specific type of entropion or whether it affects the upper or lower eyelid. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes simply state "entropion of right eye" without further elaboration.

• Avoid using this code if the documentation specifies the type of entropion (e.g., spastic, senile) or the affected eyelid (e.g., upper, lower); instead, select a more specific code from the H02.0- series.
• Always query the provider for more specific details regarding the type and location of entropion to ensure the highest level of specificity in coding.
• This code represents an unspecified laterality for the eyelid itself, but it is specific to the right eye.
