Research Trends and Hotspots of Big Data in Ophthalmology: A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization

Abstract

PURPOSE: The burst of modern information has significantly promoted the development of global medicine into a new era of big data healthcare. Ophthalmology is one of the most prominent medical specialties driven by big data analytics. This study aimed to describe the development status and research hotspots of big data in ophthalmology. METHODS: English articles and reviews related to big data in ophthalmology published from January 1, 1999, to April 30, 2024, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The relevant information was analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software. RESULTS: = 45). The electronic medical records were the primary source of ophthalmic big data, and artificial intelligence served as the principal analytics tool. Diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and myopia are currently the main topics of interest in this field. CONCLUSIONS: The application of big data in ophthalmology has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Big data is expected to play an increasingly significant role in shaping the future of research and clinical practice in ophthalmology.
