description AIM: To explore the current application and research frontiers of global ophthalmic optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging artificial intelligence (AI) research. METHODS: The citation data were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC) to evaluate the articles in application of AI in ophthalmic OCT published from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2023. This information was analyzed using CiteSpace 6.2.R2 Advanced software, and high-impact articles were analyzed. RESULTS: In general, 877 articles from 65 countries were studied and analyzed, of which 261 were published by the United States and 252 by China. The centrality of the United States is 0.33, the H index is 38, and the H index of two institutions in England reaches 20. Ophthalmology, computer science, and AI are the main disciplines involved. Hot keywords after 2018 include deep learning (DL), AI, macular degeneration, and automatic segmentation. CONCLUSION: The annual number of articles on AI applications in ophthalmic OCT has grown rapidly. The United States holds a prominent position. Institutions like the University of California System and the University of London are spearheading advancements. Initial researches centered on the automatic recognition and diagnosis of ocular diseases leveraging traditional machine learning (ML) technology and OCT images. Nowadays, the imaging process algorithm selection has shifted its focus towards DL. Concurrently, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) have emerged as key areas of contemporary research.
