{"title":"Global Trends and Emerging Themes in Tele-Ophthalmology Research: A Bibliometric Analysis (1993 to 2024).","authors":"Yogita Kadam, Namrata Dagli, RaguKumar Venugopal, Sushrutha Raj, Sonu Goel","doi":"10.1080/08820538.2025.2559842","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08820538.2025.2559842","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Tele-ophthalmology is transforming eye care delivery, particularly in remote and underserved areas, where specialist shortages and geographic barriers prevent millions from receiving timely diagnosis and treatment for preventable blindness. Tele-ophthalmology has emerged as a critical solution to bridge these care gaps, with applications ranging from remote screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Despite rapid technological advances and growing implementation, the research landscape lacks literature providing an overview of global trends, collaborative patterns, and emerging innovations in this field, hindering strategic research planning and evidence-based policy development for expanding digital eye care services. This study aims to analyse global trends and emerging themes in tele-ophthalmology research to fill this knowledge void and provide strategic insights for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A comprehensive online literature search was conducted using the Scopus database, retrieving English-language publications related to tele-ophthalmology up to 31st December 2024. Data were extracted and analysed using Biblioshiny in R Studio and VOSviewer. The study assessed annual publication trends, top journals' contributions, authors' contributions, authors' collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 5,498 publications were identified, with an annual growth rate of 9.55%, and nearly 800 articles published in 2023 alone. The United States led in publication output and international collaborations. Dr. Michael F. Chiang published the highest number of articles, with the highest total link strength (174), followed by Dr. R.V. Paul Chan and Dr. J. Peter Campbell (122). Telemedicine and E-Health was the leading journal, followed by the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare and the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Common keywords included \"telemedicine,\" \"diabetic retinopathy,\" \"artificial intelligence,\" and \"COVID-19,\" reflecting major research themes. Thematic analysis showed a shift toward AI integration and digital health solutions in ophthalmology.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The field of teleophthalmology has experienced significant and rapid growth in research activity. Recent trends indicate growing integration of artificial intelligence and digital health tools. This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive overview that can inform future research and policy efforts to enhance digital eye care delivery.</p>","PeriodicalId":21702,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell culture and animal studies have demonstrated that commonly used preservatives have severe toxic effects on meibomian gland epithelial cells, conjunctival epithelial cells and corneal epithelial cells. Some preservatives penetrate into deeper tissues and cause inflammatory damage to the eye. Clinical studies show that symptoms and signs of ocular surface disease are much more common in patients using preserved eye drops. The beneficial effect of switching patients from preserved to preservative free eye drops has also been demonstrated in many studies. Preservative free eye drops are not universally available, especially in multi-dose vials, and may be more expensive than preserved eye drops. Awareness amongst physicians and patients about the potentially severe adverse effects of preserved eye drops is lacking.
