About H02.53
H02.53 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for eyelid retraction. It belongs to category H02 (other disorders of eyelid), block H00-H05 (disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.
Within H02.5 (other disorders affecting eyelid function), H02.53 is specifically for eyelid retraction. Related codes cover abnormal innervation syndrome (H02.51), Blepharophimosis (H02.52) and other disorders affecting eyelid function (H02.59).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H02.531 (right upper eyelid), H02.532 (right lower eyelid), H02.533 (right eye, unspecified eyelid), H02.534 (left upper eyelid), H02.535 (left lower eyelid), H02.536 (left eye, unspecified eyelid) and H02.539 (unspecified eye, unspecified lid).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
