Title: Advances in therapeutic contact lenses for different ocular condition management

This subject matter holds significant importance and warrants careful examination in the realm of therapy. The reviewer concured with the assertion that this essay presents a significant argument. Nevertheless, the composition exhibits a noticeable degree of repetition, hence necessitating refinement. Additionally, the classification employed within the piece lacks clarity, thereby warranting further improvement. Table 2 looks difficult to read.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The review article titled “Advances in therapeutic contact lenses for different ocular condition management” discussed the strategies of material design, lens manufacturing, and drug impregnation under the current auspices in ophthalmic therapies and projects an outlook onto future opportunities in the field of eye conditions management by means of active principles-eluting contact lens. The review article is well-drafted, and the content is also good. The following points may be considered before accepting the manuscript for publication:

1.      Line 34: The author needs to revise the sentence, as it is the first sentence of the manuscript, which may not be suitable to start with ‘in their’.

2.      Line 38: Better to provide the reference for the original patent along with a patent number.

3.      Fig. 1 is not readable; the author can replace it with better quality.

4.   If possible, the author can provide a table related to the patented products and clinical trials, which will be more interesting for the readers.  

5.      Fig. 2 is not readable; the author can replace it with better quality.

6.  Conclusion: The author can provide the future prospects of therapeutic contact lenses.
