Summary
This study analyzed pediatric glaucoma research from 1955-2022, identifying top countries, institutions, and authors. Molecular genetics and surgical management are key research areas in childhood glaucoma.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Research
- Scientometrics
Background:
- Pediatric glaucoma (PG) research has seen significant activity.
- Understanding the landscape of PG research is crucial for future advancements.
Purpose of the Study:
- To quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate research activity in pediatric glaucoma using a scientometric approach.
- To identify key contributors and trends in pediatric glaucoma research.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive search of the "Web of Science" database was conducted for pediatric glaucoma research.
- Data on publications, citations, countries, institutions, and authors were analyzed.
- VOSviewer software was used for coauthorship analysis and visualization.
Main Results:
- 1,269 items were published between 1955 and 2022, receiving 15,485 citations from 78 countries.
- The United States, India, and China were the top contributing countries.
- LV Prasad Eye Institute, Duke University, and King Khalid Eye Specialist Hospital were leading institutions, with Mandal AK, Freedman SF, and Sarfarazi M as prolific authors.
Conclusions:
- The United States, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Mandal AK, and "Investigative Ophthalmology" led in pediatric glaucoma research productivity.
- Research focusing on the molecular genetics of pediatric glaucoma is of significant interest to the ophthalmology community.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
638
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
498
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
584
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
