TL;DR
Open access thus far has not affected how ophthalmology articles are cited in the literature, and author number, country/region of publication, subject area, language, and funding were the variables that had the most effect and were statistically significant.
Abstract
Unlike other fields of science, open access thus far has not affected how ophthalmology articles are cited in the literature.

There is strong evidence that, even in a journal that is widely available in research libraries, OA articles are more immediately recognized and cited by peers than non-OA articles published in the same journal.
BMJOpen access publishing, article downloads, and citations: randomised controlled trial
425 Citations2008Paul M. Davis, Bruce V. Lewenstein +3 more
No evidence was found of a citation advantage for open access articles in the first year after publication, suggesting the citation advantage from open access reported widely in the literature may be an artefact of other causes.

Those who choose to use the impact factor as a comparative tool should be aware of the nature and premise of its derivation and also of its inherent flaws and practical limitations.

Citation frequency was significantly augmented by nation oriented citation bias, which seems to mainly influence the cumulative citation number for papers originating from the countries with a larger research output.

There is strong evidence to suggest that the open access advantage is declining by about 7% per year, from 32% in 2004 to 11% in 2007.

Journal impact factor is more associated with journal language (ie, English versus non-English), rather than journal country of origin, rather than journals originating elsewhere.

This study aims to identify the most published authors on the topics of ‘cataract’ and ‘LASIK’, the journals in which they publish, and the citation patterns of the most‐cited articles by these authors over a 5‐year publication period.

It will be difficult to maintain the costs of both the traditional journal system and the fully implemented Open Access model, and the value of the traditional print model and its movement towards more open access.

10 Citations2006David A. Goss
Optometry and ophthalmology sources show more citations to materials from their own discipline than from their fellow discipline in the area of nonstrabismic binocular vision disorders and nonpresbyopic accommodative disorders.
