Key Takeaway
Note ocular monkeypox occurrence; case series lacks management data.

A case series described five patients in the United States diagnosed with ocular monkeypox. The report did not specify the study phase, patient demographics, or the clinical setting. No information was provided regarding any medical or surgical interventions, nor were comparators used. The sole finding was the identification of five cases. The report did not describe any clinical outcomes, resolution of symptoms, or visual acuity changes. Safety and tolerability data, including adverse events, were not reported. Key limitations include the very small sample size, lack of outcome data, and absence of intervention details. The funding source and author conflicts of interest were not disclosed. This case series serves only to document the occurrence of ocular involvement in monkeypox. It offers no evidence to guide clinical decision-making regarding diagnosis, treatment, or patient counseling.
