ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Research on crosslinking has focused mainly on trying to slow the progression of keratoconus. The objective of this bibliometric analysis is to determine the relationships between the different publications and authors. As well as to identify the different areas of research on crosslinking.Methods:
Web of Science (WOS) was the database for the search of publications for the period 1972 to December 2023, using the terms crosslinking, cross-linking, ocular, vision, visual, cornea, ectasia AND Keratoconus. The analysis of the publication was performed using the CitNetExplorer, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.Results:
7161 publications and 59415 citation networks were found. The year with the most publications is 2021, a total of 571 (7.97%) publications and 135 citation networks. The most cited publication was "Riboflavin/ultraviolet-a-induced collagen crosslinking for the treatment of keratoconus" published by Wollensak et al. in 2003, with a citation index of 1780. Using the Clustering function, five groups were found that cover the main research areas in this field keratoconus, corneal transplantation, cataracts, corneal inflammation and axial growth.Conclusion:
The treatment of keratoconus continues to be the topic of interest in this area of research. However, in recent years there has been an increase in research on how crosslinking helps to slow down axial growth.
