Mpox continues to pose challenges for healthcare providers, particularly in recognizing its ophthalmic manifestations. Delayed diagnosis or misidentification of mpox-related eye conditions can impact patient outcomes and increase transmission risks. This webinar will provide frontline staff and healthcare professionals with the latest insights on ophthalmic findings in mpox, including common and rare presentations, the presence of mpox DNA in tear film, and the critical role of infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. Led by expert faculty, this session will equip attendees with essential knowledge and practical strategies to enhance clinical decision-making and reduce transmission risks in ophthalmic settings.
