In recent years, lncRNAs have been shown to regulate gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional and translational level, thus exerting various functions in biological and pathological processes involving cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and immune response. An increasing number of researches have unveiled that lncRNAs are dysregulated in pathogenesis and the development of different ocular diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, retinal disease and ocular tumors. Also, it has been reported that lncRNAs may exert significant roles in various ocular diseases. Here, we summarized the functions of lncRNAs on relevant ocular diseases and further clarified their mechanisms. Here, several previous studies with detailed information of lncRNAs which have been proved to be the diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets were included. Also, it is our hope to provide a thorough knowledge of the functions of lncRNAs in eye diseases and the methods by which lncRNAs can influence ocular diseases.
