835 - Dermatochalasis of left lower eyelid. H02. 835 - Dermatochalasis of left lower eyelid is a topic covered in the ICD-10-CM.
H11. 002 - Unspecified pterygium of left eye | ICD-10-CM.
H00. 025 - Hordeolum internum left lower eyelid | ICD-10-CM.
H02. 403 - Unspecified ptosis of bilateral eyelids. ICD-10-CM.
H11. 003 - Unspecified pterygium of eye, bilateral | ICD-10-CM.
A pterygium is a noncancerous growth that starts in the clear, thin tissue (conjunctiva) of the eye. This growth covers the white part of the eye (sclera) and extends onto the cornea. It is often slightly raised and contains visible blood vessels.
Chalazia and hordeola (styes) are sudden-onset localized swellings of the eyelid. A chalazion is caused by noninfectious meibomian gland occlusion, whereas a hordeolum usually is caused by infection. Both conditions initially cause eyelid hyperemia and edema, swelling, and pain.
A chalazion is a blocked oil gland that appears on the inside of the eyelid, usually surfacing as a bump. An eye stye (or hordeolum) is a smaller pimple-like bump that appears on the upper or lower eyelid due to a blocked oil gland. It is typically near the eyelash and lives on the outside of the eyelid.
Hordeolum externum unspecified eye, unspecified eyelid H00. 019 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H00. 019 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty (CPT 15820, 15821) Lower eyelid blepharoplasty to remove excess skin, fatty tissue, or both, is considered not medically necessary in the absence of the medical condition of ectropion, entropion, or other functional visual impairment.
The bundles for CPT codes 15823 (blepharoplasty) and 67904 (external levator resection) should not be broken unless one of the procedures (ie, blepharoplasty repair) is being done on one side and the second procedure (ie, ptosis repair) is being performed on the contralateral side. This would be most unlikely.
15822 is Blepharoplasty, upper eyelid, while 15823 is Blepharoplasty, upper eyelid, with excessive skin weighting down lid. During blepharoplasty, it is not uncommon for the surgeon to remove a fold of skin from the upper eyelid that mechanically weights the lid and causes it to droop.
Lagophthalmos is defined as the inability to close the eyelids completely.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H02.215 and a single ICD9 code, 374.23 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
