AB  - INTRODUCTION: To report the incidence, demographics, and cost of eyelid 
      lacerations (ELs) in the USA. METHODS: The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample 
      is the largest publicly available emergency department database in the US. We 
      conducted a retrospective longitudinal analysis to identify all emergency 
      department (ED) visits in the sample from 2006 to 2014 with a primary or 
      secondary diagnosis of EL. Descriptive statistics were calculated for hospital 
      characteristics, patient demographics, and inflation-adjusted patient ED and 
      in-patient (IP) charges. RESULTS: The incidence of primary and total ELs from 
      2006 to 2014 decreased by 50 per million and 7.1 per million, respectively. In 
      the same period, the total ED and average ED charge, corrected for inflation, 
      increased by almost $37 million and $1600 per person, respectively. Motor vehicle 
      accidents (MVAs) were the mechanism of injury (MOI) associated with the highest 
      average ED and IP costs at $5391 and $42,677, respectively. However, object- 
      (42.2%) and fall-related (28.8%) were the most reported MOI overall. Peak months 
      of EL presentations were seen in May and July, and > 90% of primary ELs were 
      classified as periocular. Most ELs occurred in men and children, representing 69% 
      and 44% of all primary EL cases, respectively. CONCLUSION: The incidence of ELs 
      declined from 2006 to 2014. ELs occurred most frequently in children and young 
      adults. The high proportion of object and fall-related injuries in this 
      population highlights an area to develop strategies to reduce the frequency of 
      preventable eye injuries.
