Cicatricial entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid
ICD-10 H02.019 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cicatricial entropion of unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid.
Cicatricial entropion of the unspecified eye and unspecified eyelid is a condition characterized by the inward turning of the eyelid margin due to scarring. This condition can lead to irritation, corneal abrasion, and potential vision loss if left untreated. The eyelid anatomy involved includes the tarsal plate, which provides structural support, and the surrounding skin and conjunctiva. The disease progression typically begins with the formation of scar tissue from trauma, surgery, or inflammatory conditions, leading to the eyelid's abnormal positioning. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms such as redness, tearing, and discomfort, often exacerbated by exposure to environmental factors. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough eye examination, patient history, and possibly imaging studies to assess the extent of scarring and any associated ocular surface disease. Treatment options may range from conservative measures, such as lubricating eye drops, to surgical intervention to correct the eyelid position and alleviate symptoms.

H02.019 covers cicatricial entropion of the unspecified eye and eyelid, which may arise from various causes including trauma, surgery, or inflammatory conditions leading to scarring.
H02.019 should be used when the specific eye or eyelid affected is not documented, whereas related codes should be used when the specific eye or eyelid is known.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, clinical examination findings, and any imaging studies that confirm the diagnosis of cicatricial entropion.
