Gauging Public Interest in Pediatric Ophthalmology Conditions Using Google Trends

Bashaer Aldhahwani et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Google Trends data were analyzed to assess search trends for pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus terms from 2010 to 2022. The highest average search volumes were "lazy eye," "strabismus," and "vision therapy." "Amblyopia" had the lowest search volume. These data highlight the importance of understanding the utilization of online resources in health care and patient education. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(4):e39-e42.].
