方法：利用Web of Science(科学网)为统计源，检索2001/2011年白内障手术麻醉研究文献，利用文献计量学方法，对“年出版文章数量、作者、来源出版物、学科类别、文献类型、文献语种、机构、国家/地区”方面进行统计分析。探讨研究趋势、文献分布等。

结果：统计Web of Science数据库中白内障手术麻醉文献量年度间变化呈波状趋势，发表以论著形式为主，约翰霍普金斯大学是主要研究机构，文献主要由眼科学人员报告，《白内障和屈光手术杂志》是主要文献来源。

结论：随着白内障手术的普及，手术麻醉的研究显得越来越重要，探索安全有效的麻醉方式具有重要的临床应用意义。

METHODS:Web of Science was used for statistical sources, diabetic retinopathy literatures during 2001 and 2011 were retrieved, "the number of published articles per year, authors, source publications, subject category, literature type, literature language, institution, country/region" were analyzed by bibliometric statistical methods. Research trends, literature distribution, and any others were discussed.

RESULTS: Statistics about anesthesia for Cataract surgery researches changed from year to year a wavy trend within the Web of Science literature database. Article was the major publication form, The Johns Hopkins University was the major research institutions, and Ophthalmology was the main academic program category, "J Cataract Refr Surg" was the main source of literatures.

CONCLUSION: With the popularization of cataract surgery, anesthesia researches have become increasingly important. Exploring a safe and effective anesthesia has important clinical significance in future.
