Ocular manifestations constitute a severe potential clinical complication associated with these infections, potentially resulting in permanent visual impairment in afflicted patients. This review aimed to examine the clinical spectrum of ocular manifestations associated with mpox and other poxvirus infections and to evaluate current management strategies alongside emerging therapeutic interventions and prevention strategies. A comprehensive literature search was performed across major databases to identify studies reporting ocular involvement in poxviral infections. Ocular involvement in poxviral infections ranges from mild conjunctivitis and eyelid lesions to severe keratitis with potential vision loss. Mpox-related ocular manifestations are more prevalent in unvaccinated and immunocompromised individuals. Although early antiviral intervention and supportive care are critical, clinical outcomes vary considerably across viral clades. Emerging evidence indicates that tecovirimat may reduce lesion severity, although its impact on accelerating recovery remains limited. Moreover, vaccine strategies, particularly the MVA-BN (JYNNEOS) vaccine, appear to decrease ocular complications, despite regional disparities in access and implementation. Ocular complications pose a significant clinical challenge in mpox and related poxviral infections. This review highlights the need for early diagnosis and integrated treatment approaches that combine antiviral therapy, supportive care, and targeted vaccination. Further research is essential to refine treatment protocols and assess the long-term outcomes in diverse patient populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines13050546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]],"date-time":"2025-05-21T04:05:17Z","timestamp":1747800317000},"page":"546","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Ocular Manifestations of Mpox and Other Poxvirus Infections: Clinical Insights and Emerging Therapeutic and Preventive Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Torch Development Zone People\u2019s Hospital, Zhongshan 528436, China"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"},{"name":"International Ocular Surface Research Center, Institute of Ophthalmology, and Key Laboratory for Regenerative Medicine, Jinan University Medical School, Guangzhou 510632, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1359-8198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaru","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingming","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3124-1101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zizhen","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxin","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyoko","family":"Ohno-Matsui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koju","family":"Kamoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105719","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcv.2024.105719","article-title":"What the pox?
