This review is proposed to summarize the updates on COVID-19 and ophthalmology along with the bibliometric features of articles that have been published since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. The databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched using "Coronavirus," "COVID-19," "SARS-CoV-2," "pandemic," "ophthalmology," "ophthalmic," and "eye" keywords. All published articles except commentaries, errata, and corrigenda up to April 2021 were included. Titles and abstracts were screened, and ophthalmology-focused articles were collected. The bibliographic information of the articles, such as the name and country of the first author, type of study, date of publication, language, and journal name, were extracted. Included studies were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist. After systematic searching, 2,669 distinct articles were screened by title/abstract, and 1,174 ophthalmology-focused articles were selected to be reviewed. Ophthalmology-focused publications accounted for less than 0.5 percent of the total COVID-19-related articles. Most of the articles were published in the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, and the main publication type was "original article." Almost 88% of the publications were in English. There was a decline in the publication rate during the initial months of 2021 compared with the middle and last months of 2020. Most of the publications were affiliated with the United States of America. However, Singapore and the United Kingdom were the countries with the highest number of publications after population adjustment. Furthermore, a comprehensive review on major topics including SARS-CoV-2 ocular tropism, ophthalmic manifestations, ocular complications due to COVID-19 treatment strategies, the pandemic effect on ophthalmology care and operations, myopia progression during the pandemic, and telemedicine was conducted.
本综述旨在总结自新冠疫情爆发以来，有关新冠病毒病（COVID-19）与眼科学的最新进展以及已发表文章的文献计量学特征。通过使用“冠状病毒”“COVID-19”“严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）”“大流行”“眼科学”“眼科的”和“眼睛”等关键词，对包括PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science在内的数据库进行检索。纳入了截至2021年4月发表的除评论、勘误和更正之外的所有文章。对标题和摘要进行筛选，收集聚焦于眼科学的文章。提取文章的文献信息，如第一作者姓名、国家、研究类型、发表日期、语言和期刊名称。使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）的批判性评价清单对纳入的研究进行评估。经过系统检索，通过标题/摘要筛选出2669篇不同的文章，选择1174篇聚焦于眼科学的文章进行综述。聚焦于眼科学的出版物占新冠病毒病相关文章总数的比例不到0.5%。大多数文章发表在《印度眼科杂志》上，主要发表类型为“原创文章”。几乎88%的出版物为英文。与2020年年中及最后几个月相比，2021年初的发表率有所下降。大多数出版物隶属于美利坚合众国。然而，经人口调整后，新加坡和英国是出版物数量最多的国家。此外，还对包括SARS-CoV-2的眼部嗜性、眼科表现、COVID-19治疗策略导致的眼部并发症、大流行对眼科护理和手术的影响、大流行期间近视进展以及远程医疗等主要主题进行了全面综述。
