Thank you. We will check over the grammar again.
Reviewer 2 Report
It is a novel proposal. Required to increase the knowledge and awareness about the disease and thus design strategies for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
The authors propose that the disease be classified as a neglected disease since it is undervalued and when it is usually treated it is found in advanced stages with no treatment possibilities or good prognosis. I find no flaws in the methodology, the review makes a good analysis of the literature regarding the reasons for considering the disease as neglected. These conclusions are substantiated. The images are of good quality and are an example of the fungal keratitis frequently assessed in the medical consultation.
