Workplan
1) Introduction and Causes section - plan to add more robust introduction with further citation, and increase length, detail, and citations for causes section with emphasis on the risk factors for developing Acanthamoeba infection of cornea. 2) Add further detail and citations to diagnosis with specifics about the methods used for corneal sampling/culturing for definitive diagnosis. 3) Add more robust Treatment section with narrative structure. Continue to add to literature citations. 4) Add section on prognosis/outcomes following treatment with respect to vision, subsequent surgeries, eye loss, etc.

Peer Review
I was impressed by how much new information you were able to add in the article, specifically to pathogenesis and diagnosis sections. The text is easy to read and breaks down the complex information into text that is clear, coherent and easy to understand even for someone who does not have a background in science. In particular, I like the explanation of why the organisms is able to invade the eye due to the glycoprotein content, the explanation of corneal scrapings used in the diagnosis and the other diagnostic methods. The only change I would be to describe what a "hypopyon " is in the diagnosis section. I I really liked your use of language, which I think would be helpful to my own topic given that a majority of the information is from scientific journals and my topic is a rare condition as well.
