Benchmarking Corneal OCT
What does analysis of the last five years of literature on corneal optical coherence tomography tell us about the priorities of the field, and the contributors to it?
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revolutionized retinal imaging, and is now being increasingly used to image the anterior chamber, in particular, the cornea. So where is this technology heading? To answer this question, we decided to benchmark the PubMed-listed literature on the topic, asking:
- What are the major topics for the field?
- Which journals have the greatest impact?
- How is the knowledge available online?
- What type of articles are being published?
- Who are the most prolific authors?
PubMed was searched for “optical coherence tomography” AND “cornea” (for a focus on the anterior of the eye), in humans (for a clinical focus). The data were analyzed in Microsoft Excel 2013.
