Research on interdisciplinary measurement and evolutionary path in the field of ophthalmology

This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of interdisciplinary themes in ophthalmology through the application of the Rao-Stirling index and the LDA model, revealing trends of multidisciplinary collaboration and evolving topics. To facilitate the integration of these themes, the research proposes several recommendations: first, to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in order to establish an innovative ecosystem that spans various fields; second, to develop a systematic funding framework for research and enhance the evaluation system for interdisciplinary projects; third, to implement reforms in ophthalmic education aimed at strengthening the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent; and fourth, to expand the scope of academic journal inclusions by establishing dedicated sections for interdisciplinary research.
