Mpox-related ophthalmic disease has been reported as infrequent in the current outbreak. We retrospectively describe cases of patients with confirmed mpox. Out of 100 cases of confirmed mpox, 11 (11%) had ocular manifestations, of these 9 (81.8%) were people with HIV. We suggest that in moderate and severe mpox disease an ophthalmological evaluation should be performed.
