description Objectives To map publication trends and explore research hotspots of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) study. Methods Based on Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a bibliometric analysis was carried out. The knowledge map was constructed by VOSviewer v.1.6.10 to visualize the annual publication number, the distribution of countries, international collaborations, author productivity, source journals, cited reference and keywords in this field. Results A total of 2,135 peer-reviewed papers were retrieved on RVO from 2009 to 2018. The United States ranks highest among countries with the most publications and the most active institution was Kyoto University. Noma H contributed the most publications in this field. Retina—The Journal of Retinal and Vitreous Disease was the most prolific journal in RVO research. The top cited references mainly presented anti-VEGF medications on the management of RVO. The keywords formed six clusters: (1) Risk factors and pathogenesis of RVO; (2) Metabolismof RVO; (3) Therapeutic use of corticosteroids on RVO; (4) Diagnostic methodsof RVO; (5) Management of macular edema secondary to RVO (6) Anti-VEGFtreatment of RVO. Conclusions The six major research hotspots could provide an insight into RVO research and valuable information for researchers to identify potential collaborators and partner institutions.
