Benchmarking Cataract
Two years ago, we benchmarked the clinical cataract literature. What’s today’s state of play?
Cataract surgery continues to advance, not only in lens design, but also in terms of surgical instruments. From femtosecond lasers, improved IOLs and smarter phaco platforms, the field evolves continuously.
To generate some insight into the past and future of cataract surgery, we asked the following questions:
- Who has published the most?
- Who has had the greatest impact?
- What are the big topics being discussed?
- Is this knowledge available online?
To provide the answers to these questions, a literature analysis was performed.
PubMed, was searched for cataract, with results limited to the last five years, in humans (for a clinical focus). The data were analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2013.
