Abstract Objective: Based on the collection of Web of Science database, using the method of bibliometrics to analysis the status and hot spots of atropine on the field of myopia prevention and control. Methods: In this literature research, articles about atropine in the field of myopia prevention and control collected from the core database of Web of Science (WOS) in recent ten years (2011—2021) were analyzed. By using CiteSpace software and bibliometric method, the visual analysis was performed from the perspectives of annual publication, sources of countries and institutions, distribution of published journals and keywords with the strongest citation bursts, and analysis of co-cited article. Results: A total of 290 articles were retrieved. The country publish the most of articles was China, followed by the United States. The research institutions publish the most articles were National Eye Center of Singapore, and then the National University of Singapore and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The journals publish the most articles were《Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics》and《Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science》. The research trends range from early animal studies focusing on the pharmacology and safety of atropine, to clinical randomized controlled trials in mid-term and followed a series of meta-analysis based on these controlled trials. At present, the research focuses on the effect of atropine on choroidal thickness. Conclusions: CiteSpace is applied to analyze the related articles concerning the application of atropine on the field of myopia prevention and control, which reveals the main research results in this field as well as the countries and institutions cooperating with each other and the research trends in this field. Atropine has great application potential in myopia prevention and control, and it still has high research value.
