Cicatricial entropion of left eye, unspecified eyelid

This code describes an inward turning of the left eyelid, caused by scarring or fibrous tissue contraction. This cicatricial change can result from trauma, inflammation, or previous surgery, leading to the eyelid margin and lashes rubbing against the cornea and conjunctiva.

Use this code when documentation specifies cicatricial entropion affecting the left eye, without further detail regarding the specific eyelid (upper or lower). This diagnosis is typically supported by ophthalmological examination findings noting scarring and inward rotation of the eyelid.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "cicatricial" to differentiate from spastic or senile entropion.
• If the specific eyelid (upper or lower) is documented, use a more specific code from the H02.01- subcategory.
• Always confirm laterality (left eye) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
