Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this review, the authors summarized characteristics of several SS-OCT devices and compared their performances based on published articles. The selected SS-OCT devices are widely used in clinic worldwide. This review will benefit doctors who are planning to order SS-OCT and researchers who are seeking for proves to certify the repeatability and consistency as other SS-OCT devices they don’t have.
After going through the manuscript, I am convinced that the authors have conducted detailed searching when preparing this review. I would like to suggest accepting this manuscript if the authors could add discussion of SS-OCT selection. The discussion can include the purpose of research and the best device for it. Prices of different OCTs will be also helpful.
Author Response
Thank you for the suggestion, the SS-OCT selection discussion was added accordingly. The prices and affordability of the biometers were discussed in general terms due to the large price variability of the devices mentioned in the different countries and based on the installed software modules.
Reviewer 2 Report
Cataract surgery is currently the most frequently performed surgical technique worlwide. The first step to achieve satisfactory postoperative refraction outcome is accurate ocular biometry. The authors present in their manuscript a valid comprehensive overview on optical biometry based on SS-OCT.
