Fundus oculi proliferative diseases, such as choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy, are characterized by cell proliferation and neovascularization.It can lead to damage to the ocular structure and visual acuity.Circular RNA (CircRNA) is a non-coding endogenous RNA, which has been confirmed to be involved in the pathophysiological process of many ophthalmic diseases by recent studies.Thus, circRNA may become a promising target of fundus oculi proliferative diseases.This review concluded the physiological function of circRNA and its role in the physiological and pathological process of diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and glaucoma-related glia proliferation.

Key words:

Circular RNA; Ophthalmology; Diabetic retinopathy; Proliferative vitreoretinopathy
