H02054 - Inward-growing eyelashes on the left upper eyelid without eyelid turning inward
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This condition involves eyelashes on the left upper eyelid that grow inward toward the eye, causing them to rub against the eyeball or inner eyelid. Unlike entropion (where the entire eyelid turns inward), in this case only the individual lashes are misdirected while the eyelid position remains normal. This can cause eye irritation, scratching sensation, tearing, and potential damage to the cornea if left untreated.
Additional Information
Treatment typically involves removal of the problematic eyelashes through various methods such as epilation, electrolysis, or laser therapy. Regular monitoring may be needed as lashes can regrow in the same abnormal pattern.
