Senile entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H02.033 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of senile entropion of right eye, unspecified eyelid.
Senile entropion of the right eye, unspecified eyelid, is characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin, which can lead to irritation of the conjunctiva and cornea due to the eyelashes rubbing against the ocular surface. This condition is commonly seen in elderly patients as a result of age-related changes in the eyelid's structural integrity, including laxity of the eyelid skin and weakening of the supporting tissues. The anatomy involved includes the eyelid, which consists of skin, muscle, and connective tissue, as well as the lacrimal system that may be affected due to altered tear distribution. Disease progression can lead to chronic discomfort, tearing, and potential vision impairment if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, assessment of eyelid position, and evaluation of associated symptoms such as redness, tearing, or foreign body sensation. Treatment options may range from conservative management, such as lubricating eye drops, to surgical intervention for correction of the eyelid position.

H02.033 specifically covers senile entropion of the right eye, which is characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin. This condition can lead to complications such as corneal abrasion and chronic irritation.
H02.033 should be used when the diagnosis specifically pertains to senile entropion of the right eye. It is important to differentiate it from other eyelid disorders such as ectropion or entropion of the left eye.
Documentation should include a detailed ocular examination, description of symptoms, and any relevant imaging or diagnostic tests that support the diagnosis of senile entropion of the right eye.
