Dear Editor,

We are honored to have our work mentioned, and we thank Drs Sookaromdee and Wiwanitkit for their recognition and contact.

We understand that the monkeypox-related ocular manifestations have been reported and that monkeypox can manifest in the eyes. For example, we already have two cases under follow-up that evolved with manifestations linked to the corneas and conjunctiva and are being followed up for around 90-120 days(1).
