Resumen
Important efforts to discover new ways to combat illnesses are being carried outworldwide. In this sense, bio-additive manufacturing is an innovative technology that willrevolutionize the health industry, as it provides the possibility to develop three-dimensional biodevices, such as body tissues and even organs. This research explores the most novel inventionsof bio-additive manufacturing in ophthalmology. The main aim is to support the decisionmaking of the research community and the organizations involved in this industry. The majoradvances, organizations, research focuses and main countries involved in the ophthalmologyfield were identified. To accomplish this, a scientometric patent analysis was carried out usingadvanced data mining software and consultations with experts. Insights show a global researchtrend toward the development of lenses, followed by prosthesis and implants. Bio-additivemanufacturing is now in a nascent S-curve phase; however, important advances are beingcarried out.
