2025 ICD-10-CM code H02.84
Edema of eyelid.This condition involves swelling of the eyelid due to fluid buildup.
Medical necessity for the evaluation and treatment of eyelid edema is established by the presence of signs and symptoms, the impact on the patient's vision or ocular health, and the potential for underlying systemic conditions.
Clinicians should assess the underlying cause of eyelid edema, considering factors such as patient history, associated symptoms, and examination findings. Treatment is directed at the underlying cause and may include medical therapies like antihistamines, decongestants, or vasoconstrictors, as well as supportive measures like cool compresses.

In simple words: Swollen eyelids result from fluid buildup in the eyelid tissues. This can be due to allergies, infections, injuries, or other medical problems.
Edema of the eyelid refers to swelling caused by excess fluid in the tissues surrounding the upper and lower eyelids.It can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory and may be associated with various underlying conditions, including allergies, infections, trauma, systemic diseases, or other ocular disorders.
Example 1: A patient presents with bilateral eyelid edema, itching, and redness after exposure to a known allergen.The clinician diagnoses allergic conjunctivitis and prescribes antihistamine eye drops., A patient develops unilateral eyelid swelling, pain, and redness. Upon examination, a localized abscess is identified.The clinician diagnoses a hordeolum (stye) and recommends warm compresses and possible incision and drainage., A patient with a history of renal failure presents with bilateral eyelid edema.Laboratory tests reveal elevated creatinine levels.The clinician manages the underlying renal condition and provides supportive care for the eyelid edema.
Documentation should include the location, laterality (right, left, or bilateral), severity, and associated symptoms of eyelid edema.Any underlying causes, diagnostic tests performed, and treatment provided should also be documented.
