目的：探讨总结糖尿病性白内障领域研究现状及成果，以更好地把握该领域的研究热点及趋势。

方法：基于中国知网、Web of Science及Pubmed数据库收录已发表的相关文献，利用Microsoft Office Excel 2017、CiteSpace6.3R2等文献计量学软件可视化分析糖尿病性白内障领域的作者及国家合作、高被引文献共现、关键词聚类及突现等结果，并对研究热点进行提炼。

结果：共纳入815篇中文文献及572篇英文文献。整体来看，本领域国内外研究的学术关注度一直较高，但2018年后相关报道有减少趋势。糖尿病性白内障领域跨机构合作较为缺乏，但形成了以中国、美国、英国、西班牙等为中心的合作网络。糖尿病性白内障的手术及药物治疗、发病机制、相关并发症等为该领域的研究重点； 国内外的主要研究内容基本保持一致，但国内研究在糖尿病性白内障护理及中药干预方面独树一帜。近年来国内的研究热点为糖尿病性白内障的机制，而临床治疗则为国外的热点关注。

结论：文章基于文献计量学分析了2000-2024年糖尿病性白内障的相关研究文献，总结梳理了目前该领域的研究现状、成果及热点，并指出该领域研究具有一定的学术价值及临床意义，相关研究结论可为其未来发展提供一定参考。

METHODS: Based on the relevant literature retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Web of Science databases, and Pubmed, a bibliometric analysis of the diabetic cataract was conducted by means of Microsoft Office Excel 2017 and CiteSpace 6.3R2. Research hotspots were subsequently synthesized after visualizations of author/country collaborations, co-citation networks of highly cited literature, keyword clustering, and emergence.

RESULTS: A total of 815 Chinese and 572 English publications were finally included. Overall, this field had maintained substantial scholarly attention globally, though publications had progressively decreased since 2018. While inter-institutional collaboration in this area remained limited, a multinational collaborative network had emerged with the People's Republic of China, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Spain as central hubs. Core research priorities in diabetic cataract consistently encompassed surgical and pharmacological interventions, pathogenesis, associated ocular/systemic complications; while international and domestic research contents aligned fundamentally in these domains, but the domestic research was unique in nursing interventions and herbal medicine-based interventions. Recent analytical trends revealed that Chinese investigations prioritized the pathogenic mechanisms of diabetic cataract, whereas international efforts concentrated on clinical therapeutics.

CONCLUSION: This bibliometric analysis of diabetic cataract research literature(2000-2024)synthesizes the current advancements, research priorities, and scholarly contributions in the field, and intuitively demonstrates significant academic merit and clinical relevance, which can provide evidence-based guidance for the future research trajectories.
