目的：基于文献计量学软件CiteSpace和VOSviewer分析近20 a眼外伤领域的研究现状及热点。方法：文献计量学研究。于2025年6月检索中国知网(CNKI)数据库及Web of Science核心数据库近20 a发表的眼外伤领域的相关文献。采用Endnote X9对纳入文献进行管理核对； 用Microsoft Office Excel 2019进行数据管理统计，并对频次数据绘制图形。利用CiteSpace和VOSviewer软件构建文献作者、机构、国家/地区、期刊及关键词的可视化图谱并进行分析。结果：纳入有效文献3 437篇(中文911篇，英文2 526篇)，英文文献年均增速12.7%(2021年峰值289篇)，中文文献2005年占比31.2%(峰值149篇)后递减至2024年6.3%。中国学者发文量高峰出现较早但后续呈递减趋势，亟待加强在该领域的持续性研究投入与成果转化。美国(682篇)、中国(272篇)、印度(206篇)构成核心三角协作网络(跨国合作占比68.2%)。6个作者聚类团体(颜华/张卯年等)内部合作紧密，但团体间相互合作较少。高频关键词及突现词分析揭示全球六大研究热点：(1)眼外伤评分与微创玻璃体手术；(2)光学相干断层扫描(OCT)/超声生物显微镜检查(UBM)引导眼内异物诊疗；(3)羊膜移植修复化学伤；(4)多模态角膜穿通伤评估；(5)炎症指标诊断外伤并发眼内炎；(6)家庭干预防控儿童眼外伤。研究趋势表明眼外伤领域研究重心正从急救向人工替代物及全周期护理康复延伸。结论：中外研究差异反映防控政策与医疗资源配置不平衡，中国需加强持续性投入并突破合作壁垒，促进眼外伤研究向全周期精准化管理转型。

AIM: To investigate the research status and hotspots in the field of ocular trauma over the past two decades using bibliometric software CiteSpace and VOSviewer.METHODS: A bibliometric study. Relevant literature on ocular trauma published in the past 20 a was retrieved from the CNKI database and Web of Science Core Collection in June 2025. EndNote X9 was used for literature management and verification. Microsoft Office Excel 2019 was employed for data management and statistics, with graphical representations created for frequency data. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were utilized to construct and analyze visual maps of authors, institutions, countries/regions, journals, and keywords.RESULTS: A total of 3 437 valid articles were included(911 in Chinese, 2 526 in English). English publications grew at an average annual rate of 12.7%(peak: 289 articles in 2021), while Chinese articles decreased from 31.2% in 2005(peak: 149 articles)to 6.3% in 2024. Chinese scholars showed an early surge in output but a subsequent declining trend, necessitating enhanced sustained research investment and translational outcomes. The United States(682 articles), China(272 articles), and India(206 articles)formed a core collaborative triangle, with a transnational collaboration rate of 68.2%. Six author clusters(e.g., Yan Hua/Zhang Maonian, et al.)demonstrated strong intra-group collaboration but minimal inter-group cooperation. Analysis of high-frequency keywords and burst terms revealed six global research hotspots: 1)ocular trauma score and minimally invasive vitrectomy; 2)optical coherence tomography(OCT)/ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)-guided diagnosis and management of intraocular foreign bodies; 3)amniotic membrane transplantation for chemical injury repair; 4)multimodal assessment of corneal perforation injuries; 5)inflammatory indicators for diagnosing endophthalmitis as a traumatic complication; 6)family-based interventions for preventing and controlling pediatric ocular trauma. Trends indicate a shift in research focus from emergency care toward artificial substitutes and full-cycle nursing rehabilitation.CONCLUSION: Differences in research outputs between China and other countries reflect imbalances in prevention policies and medical resource allocation. China should strengthen sustained investment and overcome collaboration barriers to jointly advance ocular trauma research toward full-cycle precision management.
