Abstract

Important efforts to discover new ways to combat illnesses are being carried out worldwide. In this sense, bio-additive manufacturing is an innovative technology that will revolutionize the health industry, as it provides the possibility to develop three-dimensional bio devices, such as body tissues and even organs. This research explores the most novel inventions of bio-additive manufacturing in ophthalmology. The main aim is to support the decision making of the research community and the organizations involved in this industry. The major advances, organizations, research focuses and main countries involved in the ophthalmology field were identified. To accomplish this, a scientometric patent analysis was carried out using advanced data mining software and consultations with experts. Insights show a global research trend toward the development of lenses, followed by prosthesis and implants. Bio-additive manufacturing is now in a nascent S-curve phase; however, important advances are being carried out.
