Blepharophimosis right upper eyelid

This code describes a congenital narrowing of the palpebral fissure (the opening between the eyelids) specifically affecting the upper eyelid of the right eye. It indicates a developmental anomaly where the eyelid opening is abnormally small, potentially impacting vision or causing cosmetic concerns.

Use this code when documentation specifies blepharophimosis affecting the right upper eyelid. This diagnosis is typically made during an ophthalmologic examination, often in infancy or early childhood, and supported by visual inspection and measurements of the palpebral fissure.

• Ensure laterality (right) and specific eyelid (upper) are clearly documented.
• Distinguish from blepharoptosis (drooping eyelid) or other eyelid malpositions.
• Consider sequencing with other congenital anomalies if part of a syndrome.
