Abstract :The study aims to evaluate postgraduate theses on the eyes and diseases of different types of animals in our country, which have been conducted on an academic platform, using bibliometric analysis methods, and to contribute to new studies to be conducted in the future. The study employed the following tools and methods: searches were conducted on the official website of the National Thesis Center affiliated with the Higher Education Institution, in the postgraduate thesis section, by entering different combinations of keywords or phrases related to the research topic into the search box. Among the 4.886 postgraduate theses found using the keyword “Eye Diseases” in the search, 22 were found to be on eye diseases in animals. Of the findings obtained from the identified theses, 68. 2% were master\\\'s theses, 31.2% were doctoral theses, and 40.91% of the thesis studies were experimental in nature. When looking at the distribution of theses on eye diseases over the years, it was observed that there was an upward trend, partly due to the lack of sufficient research in the field. In conclusion, considering that the number of postgraduate studies on eye diseases is insufficient, an increase in the number of studies will enable the development of new treatment strategies for the prevention of diseases and will contribute to new researchers selecting suitable collaborators or projects for research topics related to ophthalmic diseases.
