Cicatricial entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H02.013 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cicatricial entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Cicatricial entropion of the right eye, unspecified eyelid, is characterized by an inward turning of the eyelid margin due to scarring or fibrosis. This condition can lead to irritation of the cornea and conjunctiva, resulting in symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort. The eyelid anatomy involved includes the skin, muscle, and connective tissue, which may be affected by trauma, surgery, or inflammatory diseases. Disease progression can vary; if left untreated, cicatricial entropion can lead to corneal abrasions, infections, and potentially vision loss. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and possibly imaging studies to assess the extent of scarring and any associated conditions. Treatment options may include surgical intervention to correct the eyelid position and address the underlying scarring, as well as symptomatic management to alleviate discomfort.

H02.013 covers cicatricial entropion specifically affecting the right eyelid, which may result from trauma, surgery, or inflammatory conditions leading to scarring. It is important to differentiate this from other forms of entropion, such as involutional or spastic entropion.
H02.013 should be used when the diagnosis specifically indicates cicatricial entropion of the right eyelid. If the condition affects the left eyelid or is of a different etiology, other codes such as H02.012 or H02.019 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the onset of symptoms, any previous surgeries or trauma to the eyelid, and a comprehensive eye examination noting the eyelid's position and any associated corneal findings.
