Methodology: A bibliometric design was used. We used the Web of Science database to extract all Acanthamoeba keratitis articles from 1970 to 2021. To collect publishing data, analyze publication trends, and visualize relevant data, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer were used. Results: 171 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.784 %); of them were published as open Access. 92.751% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded indexed journals. The mean number of citations was 13733, with a median of 25.53, and the H index was 63. 77.32 % of the articles were published since 2000. University of Texas in the United States had the highest number of publications insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(78, 14.499%);, followed by the University of London in the UK insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(63,11.71%);. The United States insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(USA); ranked first in the number of publications insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(151, 28.067%);, followed by the United Kingdom insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(49, 9.108%); and Germany insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31, 5.762%);.

Acanthamoeba keratitis research has increased significantly in the last 15 years. Conclusions: With the use of information visualization analysis, we were able to gain a wide understanding of the state of affairs, recognize trends, and identify hotspots. It is a more effective way to learn the literature and could give future researchers summarized data
