An eyelid lesion is a pathological change in the tissue of the eyelid. There are many types of lesions, most of which are benign or harmless. However, some lesions may be malignant or cancerous. This section focuses on benign lesions. An eyelid lesion may be pigmented or colored.

ICD-10 code H02. 84 for Edema of eyelid is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Drooping of the upper lid due to deficient development or paralysis of the levator palpebrae muscle.

Inflammation (due to allergy, infection, or injury), infection and trauma can all cause swelling of the eyelids. In come cases swelling of the eyelid may be the only symptom, but in others the eyelid is also likely to be red, itchy, gritty or sore.

Swollen Eyelid Causes Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) Shingles. A clogged oil gland in your eyelid (chalazion) An eyelid infection (stye)
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 H02. 4 for Ptosis of eyelid is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Brow ptosis repair (CPT code 67900) and upper eyelid blepharoptosis repair (CPT codes 67901-67909) is considered reconstructive and medically necessary under certain circumstances.
Surgery to elevate the eyelid can correct ptosis in most people. NYU Langone doctors may recommend surgery if a droopy eyelid is significantly affecting your ability to see, or if your vision is not compromised but you would like to correct the eyelid for cosmetic reasons.
The most common treatment for ptosis is a surgical procedure called a ptosis repair. 1 The surgeon numbs the area around your eyelid with a local anesthetic. Then they make a small incision (cut) in the skin on the upper eyelid. They can then tighten the levator muscle with stitches to raise the eyelid.
Ptosis surgery is the only effective method of treatment for severe ptosis that has been present from birth or caused by injury. During this procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision to access and tighten the levator muscle, allowing the patient to then open their eyelid to a more normal height.
Certain prescription eye drops are available, which can serve as a temporary solution to address the condition of ptosis. The effect of the treatment can last for about eight hours, and can be repeated for maintain the look. Botox may be used in some cases to treat the muscle that is causing the eyelids to close.
H02.9 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified disorder of eyelid. The code H02.9 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as H02.A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

For example, if a lesion is excised because of suspicion of malignancy (e.g., ICD-10-CM code D48.5), the Medical Record might include “increase in size” to support this diagnosis. “Increase in size” might also support the diagnosis of disturbance of skin sensation (R20.0-R20.3, R20.8).
Similarly, use of an ICD-10 code L82.0 (Inflamed seborrheic keratosis) will be insufficient to justify lesion removal, without the medical record documentation of the patients' symptoms and physical findings. It is important to document the patient's signs and symptoms as well as the physician's physical findings.
