Focusing of Light in the Eye

Focusing of Light in the Eye

Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...

Background:

The optimal method for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in cataract surgery remains undetermined, necessitating further research for consensus.
This study analyzes publications on IOL power calculation formulas to understand research trends.

Purpose of the Study:

To map yearly trends in IOL power calculation formula research.
To identify the most productive authors, countries, and institutions in this field.
To determine the specialization areas within IOL power calculation research.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research articles was conducted.
Data were sourced from PubMed, covering publications from 1946 to 2023.
Analysis utilized CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel for data visualization and interpretation.

Main Results:

A significant increase in publications was observed, from 1 in 1946 to 201 in 2023.
The United States, China, and Japan were the top contributing countries.
Key authors and institutions were identified, with Saarland University being the most productive.

Conclusions:

This is the first scientometric analysis of IOL power calculation formula publications.
The study provides insights into research distribution, key contributors, and focus areas.
Enhanced cooperation is crucial for identifying the most accurate IOL formulas and addressing knowledge gaps.
