Spastic entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid

This code signifies an inward turning of the right eyelid margin due to muscle spasm, where the specific eyelid (upper or lower) is not documented. This involuntary contraction causes the eyelashes to rub against the cornea, potentially leading to irritation, corneal abrasion, or infection.

Use this code when the medical record clearly indicates spastic entropion affecting the right eye, but the physician's documentation does not specify whether it's the upper or lower eyelid. This code is appropriate when the cause is muscle spasm, rather than congenital, cicatricial, or other forms of entropion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "spastic" entropion and laterality (right eye).
• If the specific eyelid (upper or lower) is documented, a more precise code should be used.
• Distinguish from other forms of entropion (e.g., congenital, senile, cicatricial) which have different codes.
