Purpose
To analyze the contents of domestic and inter national public ations in neuro-ophthalmology during the past decade.
Methods
CBM and Medline were separately searched in 2007, by using Medical subject heading for retrieving Chinese and English language neuro-ophthalmic articles which were published between 1997 and 2006.
Results
A total of 13052 Englishwritten a rticles available for analysis were contributed from more than 70 countries, mainly from USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Italy and Canada.
