To reveal the research hotspots, trends, and future prospects of lacrimal duct obstruction disease (LDOD) from 1900 to 2024 through the bibliometric and visualized analysis, providing a directional guidance for research in this field.
The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve relevant literature. Data analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace 6.3.1, including annual publication volume, trends, research areas, country/region and institution distribution, journal and co-cited journal analysis, author and co-cited author analysis, keyword and burst keyword analysis, .
The study included a total of 1481 articles, revealing an overall upward trend in research on LDOD, with ophthalmology being the predominant field. While the United States previously led research efforts, India and China have emerged as key contributors since 2015. Mohammad Javed Ali stands out as the most influential author in this research area. has published the highest number of related articles, whereas has the highest co-citation. The current focal points of research include minimally invasive and precise modifications to dacryocystorhinostomy, along with intubation, new materials for stents, and disease pathogenesis.
LDOD research has garnered widely attention and exhibits a steady upward trend. Since 1900, the United States, China, and India have been the leading contributors to this field. Ophthalmologists continue to be the primary driving force behind LDOD research. The findings of this study suggest that at the forefront of LDOD research, our focus has long been on refining and innovating surgical treatment. The minimally invasive and precise modification of lacrimal surgery, represented by dacryocystorhinostomy, is the ongoing developmental direction of this field. Rapid interdisciplinary integration and in-depth exploration of pathogenesis and allergic inflammation will lead to the emergence of new materials, innovative technologies, and safer clinical treatment protocols.
通过文献计量学和可视化分析揭示1900年至2024年泪道阻塞疾病（LDOD）的研究热点、趋势和未来前景，为该领域的研究提供方向性指导。
使用Web of Science核心合集数据库检索相关文献。采用VOSviewer 1.6.20和CiteSpace 6.3.1进行数据分析和可视化，包括年度发文量、趋势、研究领域、国家/地区和机构分布、期刊及共被引期刊分析、作者及共被引作者分析、关键词及突现关键词分析。
该研究共纳入1481篇文章，显示出LDOD研究总体呈上升趋势，眼科是主要研究领域。虽然美国此前在研究方面处于领先地位，但自2015年以来，印度和中国已成为主要贡献者。穆罕默德·贾韦德·阿里是该研究领域最具影响力的作者。 发表的相关文章数量最多，而 具有最高的共被引频次。当前的研究重点包括泪囊鼻腔吻合术（DCR）的微创和精确改良以及插管、支架新材料和疾病发病机制。
LDOD研究已受到广泛关注并呈现稳定上升趋势。自1900年以来，美国、中国和印度一直是该领域的主要贡献者。眼科医生仍然是LDOD研究的主要驱动力。本研究结果表明，在LDOD研究的前沿，长期以来我们一直专注于完善和创新手术治疗。以泪囊鼻腔吻合术为代表的泪道手术的微创和精确改良是该领域当前的发展方向。快速的跨学科整合以及对发病机制和变应性炎症的深入探索将催生新材料、创新技术和更安全的临床治疗方案。
