Madarosis of left eye, unsp eyelid and periocular area

This code describes the loss of eyelashes or eyebrow hair specifically affecting the left eye, without further specification of which eyelid (upper or lower) or the exact periocular area involved. It indicates a localized hair loss condition around the left eye.

Use this code when documentation clearly states madarosis of the left eye, and there is no further detail regarding the specific eyelid or periocular region affected. This code is appropriate when the physician's notes confirm the laterality and the general nature of the hair loss around the eye.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left eye" for accurate laterality.
• If the specific eyelid (upper or lower) is documented, a more precise code from the H02.71- or H02.73- series should be used.
• Do not use if the madarosis is bilateral or affects only the right eye.
