| description | Background: This bibliometric study analyses the global output of glaucoma in primary healthcare from 1978 to 2024.Methods: The study surveyed trends in publications, leading research institutions, and principal contributors, utilizing data from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. The analysis revealed an increase in scholarly articles focused on glaucoma within primary healthcare, reflecting an enhanced emphasis on early detection and management at the initial level of care. Relevant documents were identified using a reliable search strategy from the WoS and Scopus databases and were reviewed and evaluated using Microsoft Excel and the bibliometrix R-package.Results: The United States, Portugal, and Brazil were identified as leading countries in glaucoma research, demonstrating a broad commitment to addressing this eye condition. Research has focused on enhancing awareness among patients and healthcare providers, developing effective screening protocols, and improving the quality of life for those affected by glaucoma. The findings highlight the importance of an integrated approach that includes educating primary care providers, adopting advanced diagnostic technologies, and actively involving patients in their care and monitoring. Challenges such as limited access to proficient healthcare services and the incorporation of specialized ophthalmological services within primary care frameworks were also noted.Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis underscores the need for enhanced cross-disciplinary collaboration and worldwide knowledge exchange regarding early glaucoma detection and management in primary care settings. The insights gained could guide the development of strategies to improve access to glaucoma diagnosis and treatment while heightening public awareness of the condition. |
