Abstract

Monkey pox can be presented through the eyes, and this could be the first time. Due to the probability of a widespread epidemic at this time, practitioners must be aware of the possibility of ocular problems in monkeypox. Monkey pox has spread across Europe, creating a significant public health risk [2]. The authors review the ocular manifestation of monkey pox in this brief essay.
