Research progress of optic nerve imaging during 1991-2023: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Optic nerve imaging is crucial for diagnosing and understanding optic neuropathies because it provides detailed visualization of the nerve's structure and pathologies through advanced modalities. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis within the field of optic nerve imaging, aiming to pinpoint the latest research trends and focal points in optic nerve imaging.

Methods: The core literature on optic nerve imaging published between January 1991 and August 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection.
