Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.7K
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

1.1K
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.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Bibliometrics
  • Research Impact Assessment

Background:

  • Assessing the impact of ophthalmic research is hindered by a lack of standardized evaluation methods.
  • Differentiating truly impactful research requires consistent and reliable metrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the most frequently utilized metrics for evaluating research impact in ophthalmology.
  • To identify trends in the application of these metrics across different levels (article, author, institution, journal, country).

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted following Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • 1100 studies published between 1955 and 2023 were screened across multiple databases.
  • 77 studies meeting eligibility criteria were included, with quality assessed using the modified Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen distinct metrics were identified, with Citation Count (30%), Publication Count (22%), Impact Factor (17%), and Hirsch index (14%) being the most prevalent.
  • The majority of metrics (82%) were quantitative and focused on article-level (26%) and journal-level (23%) impact.
  • Most included studies (94%) provided Level 4 evidence.

Conclusions:

  • The current landscape of ophthalmic research impact assessment lacks standardization.
  • A need exists for a more comprehensive and uniform methodology to accurately evaluate the significance of ophthalmic research.
