In myogenic ptosis, the levator muscle is weakened due to a systemic disorder that causes muscle weakness. These conditions may include chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and types of muscular dystrophy. With mechanical ptosis, the eyelid is weighed down by excessive skin or a mass.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified ptosis of left eyelid- H02. 402- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code H02. 4 for Ptosis of eyelid is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
(TOH-sis) Drooping of the upper eyelid.
During blepharoplasty, the surgeon cuts into the creases of the eyelids to trim sagging skin and muscle and remove excess fat. The surgeon rejoins the skin with tiny dissolving stitches. Blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from the eyelids.
Brow ptosis repair (CPT code 67900) and upper eyelid blepharoptosis repair (CPT codes 67901-67909) is considered reconstructive and medically necessary under certain circumstances.
ICD-10-CM Code for Facial weakness R29. 810.
Ptosis is drooping eyelids, caused by weakness of the muscle responsible for raising the eyelid (levator palpebrae superioris), as in myasthenia gravis, damage to the extraocular nerves, or skin laxity in the upper eyelids.
H02. 403 - Unspecified ptosis of bilateral eyelids. ICD-10-CM.
The most common cause of congenital ptosis is the levator muscle not developing properly. Children who have ptosis may also develop amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye. This disorder can also delay or limit their vision.
Unilateral ptosis can be the result of weakness of the Müller muscle, which is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system (Horner syndrome) or the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is supplied by cranial nerve III (ie, the oculomotor nerve).
For adults, treatment usually does mean surgery. Your doctor may remove extra skin and tuck the muscle that lifts the lid. Or the doctor may reattach and strengthen that muscle. You may also be able to wear glasses with a special crutch built in.
Eyelid ptosis refers to the drooping or sagging of the upper eyelid. In some cases, eyelid drooping is harmless and only creates a cosmetic problem in the form of a tired or older-looking appearance. In other cases, however, ptosis can be a sign of something serious.
Ptosis happens when the levator palpebrae superioris muscle doesn't contract correctly. It can also happen when the superior tarsal muscle doesn't contract correctly. Many kinds of conditions can cause this.
Congenital ptosis will not get better without surgery. However, early correction will help the child to develop normal vision in both eyes. Some acquired ptosis that is caused by nerve problems will improve without treatment.
Treatment for ptosis depends on the cause. Your doctor will try to find the cause and see if treatment may help. Some causes of ptosis may go away on their own over time. If ptosis interferes with your vision, your doctor may talk to you about having surgery.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H02.42 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The ICD code H024 is used to code Ptosis (eyelid) Ptosis /ˈtoʊsɪs/ (from Greek Ptosis "Blepharoptosis" or πτῶσις, to "fall") is a drooping or falling of the upper eyelid. The drooping may be worse after being awake longer, when the individual's muscles are tired.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H02.422 and a single ICD9 code, 374.32 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
If severe enough and left untreated, the drooping eyelid can cause other conditions, such as amblyopia or astigmatism. This is why it is especially important for this disorder to be treated in children at a young age, before it can interfere with vision development. Ptosis of the left eyelid (unilateral ptosis).
Myogenic ptosis refers to a droopy upper eyelid, characterized by limited elevation due to levator muscle weakness. ^ ( [1] [2] [3] [4]) The condition can be categorized as either congenital ptosis or acquired ptosis, depending on age of onset of disease.^ ( [5])
Complications Complications associated with surgical options for myogenic ptosis may include asymmetry, sling breakage, sling exposure or infection, under-correction of the eyelid, need for additional surgery, and keratopathy.^ ( [1] [9])These complications can typically be resolved through sling revision/replacement and topical/eye drop medications. The patient should be aware that increased lagophthalmos (inability to close the eye) is common after elevation of the eyelid with myogenic ptosis.^ ( [1])
Oculopharyngeal dystrophy ( OPMD) is the result of mutations in the PAPBN1 gene.^ ( [8]) Mutations in the PAPBN1 gene most commonly present in the form of a small triplet repeat expansion.^ ( [8])
Myotonic dystrophy is the result of mutations in the DMPK gene.^ ( [1]) Mutations in the DMPK gene are associated with a lengthened noncoding CTG repeat.^ ( [1]) This expansion of the nucleotide repeat can increase further in subsequent generations.^ ( [1])
Myogenic ptosis patients typically present with drooping of the upper eyelid, a tired appearance, decreased levator muscle function, and limited motility of extraocular and facial muscles.^ ( [3] [6])Patients also report disturbance in their visual field that may range from mild to severe depending on the degree of upper lid droopiness. Myogenic ptosis may present in one or both eyes. In severe cases, patients may report the need to tilt their heads back or rely on forehead muscles and their fingers to lift their eyelids to improve their visual field.^ ( [6])
There are currently no known ways to prevent myogenic ptosis.
The true prevalence/incidence of myogenic ptosis is unknown but is typically rare.^ ( [3])
Ptosis /ˈtoʊsɪs/ (from Greek Ptosis "Blepharoptosis" or πτῶσις, to "fall") is a drooping or falling of the upper eyelid. The drooping may be worse after being awake longer, when the individual's muscles are tired. This condition is sometimes called "lazy eye", but that term normally refers to amblyopia.
