Lysyl oxidase(LOX), an amino oxidase with copper binding site outside the cell, has been confirmed that may be involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases by a large number of studies. At present, although the potential mechanism of common variants of LOX in the development of disease is still unknown, but the potential role may be to affect the biological activity of LOX through tissue-specific alternative splicing or expression regulation.However, no matter under normal or pathological

... tions, there is still little information about LOX in eye tissue yet.In recent years, it has been found that LOX may be involved in the occurrence and development of many eye diseases in related studies. Based on this, the review will summarize the research progress of eye diseases in which LOX is involved of recent years.
