The global prevalence of allergic diseases has increased dramatically in recent decades. From a global health perspective, they have been considered as a major chronic disease, and the related social burden has also been increasing worldwide. In line with this trend, we investigated the likelihood of undergoing incision surgery for eyelid inflammatory masses in pediatric and adolescent patients with allergic conjunctivitis (AC). The prevalence of AC and incision surgery showed a similar pattern of bimodal peaks during the spring and autumn of South Korea, reflecting the peak allergic seasons. The likelihood of undergoing incision surgery in patients with AC was 4.27 times higher than that of patients without AC and the likelihood of undergoing incision surgery was higher in every age group in the AC cohort than in the non-AC cohort. There was no significant difference between age groups and sexes. In the AC cohort for sub-analysis, the likelihood of undergoing incision surgery was 2.34 times higher in patients who used steroids than those who did not. These findings can suggest that proper management and education can be required for the likelihood of undergoing incision surgery due to eyelid inflammation mass in pediatric and adolescent patients with AC. Furthermore, greater attention should be paid to patients using steroids due to severe AC as they are more likely to undergo incision surgery.
