This study examines its applications in areas such as VR-based surgical training, augmented reality (AR)-assisted surgeries, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics, and teleophthalmology. This review builds upon previous literature by integrating recent evidence and technological advancements, offering a more comprehensive analysis of particular applications and barriers in ophthalmology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Academic literature published between 2019 and 2024 was identified through searches in the PubMed database and Google Scholar search engine using relevant keywords.

The infrastructure supporting the Metaverse comprises technologies such as the Internet of Things, digital twins, mirror worlds, nonfungible tokens, blockchain technology, and lifelogging. Together, these technologies create immersive environments that users can access through VR headsets, AR glasses, and handheld controllers. The metaverse presents promising opportunities in ophthalmology, particularly in enhancing clinical training through simulators such as the EyeSi\u2122 surgical simulator, VRmagic EyeSi Slit Lamp, and the HelpMeSee\u2122 VR simulator. In addition, it facilitates remote consultations and improves diagnostic and treatment options, exemplified by tools such as the Vivid Vision\u2122 system for amblyopia, the Microsoft HoloLens\u2122 for navigating complex anatomical structures, and AI-based platforms for the early detection of diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Furthermore, the metaverse may enhance patient education by simulating the visual effects of ophthalmic conditions and visualizing postoperative outcomes. However, challenges, including financial limitations, data security concerns, and cultural acceptance, must be addressed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A gradual and context-specific integration of the metaverse is essential, particularly in underdeveloped regions.
