Research on eye health 2000–2019: a global bibliometric analysis with a focus on equity
The annual research output doubled globally over the two decades, with a disproportionate output from high-income countries and slow progress towards gender parity. The main limitations of our study included the use of a single database, which may have led to an underestimation of all outputs, particularly from low- or middle-income countries.
