The Top 100 Papers of 25 Years of Macular Imaging Using Optical Coherence Tomography.

We analyzed and quantified the 100 most frequently cited papers in macular imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT). The databases of the Institute for Scientific Information databases utilized for identification of articles in macular imaging using OCT over the last 25 years since the introduction of OCT in ophthalmology. All articles containing "optical coherence tomography" and "retina" without "glaucoma". The publication dates of the 100 most-cited articles ranged from 1991 to 2015, with the greatest number of articles published in the 2000s, while the total number of citations per article was greatest for articles published in the 1990s. Most studies were conducted in the U.S. and represented Level-IV clinical outcome studies indicating that also small case series or cohort studies could gain attention. The top 5 senior authors contributed to 39 of the 100 selected publications and accrued a total of 66.0% of all citations of those articles.
