Description
Summary:We conducted a bibliometric analysis on corneal biomechanics. A comprehensive search of the article on the Scopus database was conducted with the term – corneal biomechanics. Only original research articles and reviews such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in the English language were included. Documents such as conference meeting abstracts, editorials, proceeding papers, and letters to the editor were excluded. To increase the search accuracy, we restricted our search strategy to the term – corneal biomechanics and was manually assessed by verifying the title, abstract, and keywords. For the visualization and analysis of the data, VOSviewer version 1.6.20 was used. Publication trends, productive countries, researchers’ details, commonly cited documents, source and influential journals, and keyword occurrence were analyzed. A total of 778 studies were considered, of which 687 were original articles and 91 were review articles. The highest publications were seen in the year 2020. The maximum publications were from the United States followed by China and the United Kingdom. The maximum documents were published by Elsheikh Ahmed and Ambrosio Renato, whereas maximum citations were received by Elsheikh Ahmed and Cynthia Roberts. A total of 3758 keywords were identified. The co-occurrence of corneal biomechanics and keratoconus keywords was 391 and 122 times, respectively. The most influential journal was found to be Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. Corneal biomechanics is a constantly evolving field in the area of ophthalmology, vision science, and engineering. This analysis can help researchers to understand the broader trend in corneal biomechanical research and its application. Further, it can also serve as a guiding tool for reviewing resources.
