| description | BackgroundThe application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing retinal diseases represents a significant advancement in ophthalmological research, with the potential to reshape future practices in the field. This study explores the extensive applications and emerging research frontiers of AI in retinal diseases.ObjectiveThis study aims to uncover the developments and predict future directions of AI research in retinal disease over the past decade.MethodsThis study analyzes AI utilization in retinal disease research through articles, using citation data sourced from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database, covering the period from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023. A combination of WOS analyzer, CiteSpace 6.2 R4, and VOSviewer 1.6.19 was used for a bibliometric analysis focusing on citation frequency, collaborations, and keyword trends from an expert perspective.ResultsA total of 2,861 articles across 93 countries or regions were cataloged, with notable growth in article numbers since 2017. China leads with 926 articles, constituting 32% of the total. The United States has the highest h-index at 66, while England has the most significant network centrality at 0.24. Notably, the University of London is the leading institution with 99 articles and shares the highest h-index (25) with University College London. The National University of Singapore stands out for its central role with a score of 0.16. Research primarily spans ophthalmology and computer science, with “network,” “transfer learning,” and “convolutional neural networks” being prominent burst keywords from 2021 to 2023.ConclusionChina leads globally in article counts, while the United States has a significant research impact. The University of London and University College London have made significant contributions to the literature. Diabetic retinopathy is the retinal disease with the highest volume of research. AI applications have focused on developing algorithms for diagnosing retinal diseases and investigating abnormal physiological features of the eye. Future research should pivot toward more advanced diagnostic systems for ophthalmic diseases. |
