  "abstract": "Objective: To analyze the research hotspots and development trends in the field of macular holes from 1975 to 2024. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection to retrieve the publications related to macular holes. The search covered the period from January 1, 1975 to December 31, 2024. Trends in annual publication volume, citation frequency, geographical distribution, contributing journals, and author productivity were analyzed using the bibliometrix package of R software and VOSviewer. Keyword co-occurrence clustering and burst analysis were conducted using CiteSpace software. Results: A total of 4, 704 publications related to macular holes were included. The annual publication volume showed a rapid upward trend from 1975 to 2024, especially with a sharp increase around 2000 and 2010. The United States, Japan and China were the leading contributors to publication output, with the United States also demonstrating the highest level of international collaboration. The top five institutions by publication volume were the University of Miami in the United States, Moorfields Eye Hospital in the United Kingdom, Capital Medical University in China, the University of Munich in Germany, and Osaka University in Japan. Keyword clustering and burst analysis showed that the current research primarily focuses on the pathogenesis, classification, and surgical management of macular holes, as well as the role of high myopia in their development. Conclusion: Research output in the field of macular hole has grown substantially over the past 50 years. Current and future research hotspots are centered on the pathogenic role of high myopia, and the individualized selection of surgical methods based on macular hole classification, and preretinal proliferative changes associated with lamellar macular holes.",
