HighlightsPeptides and Collagen-like peptides platform and strategy for corneal implants demonstrated.The optimality of optical, physical and mechanical properties of such implants are summarised.Highlights on innovative strategies to create corneal substitute and implants.Requirements and strategy for preclinical and clinical validation highlighted.The bigger picture for peptide based implants for future corneal substitute is discussed.Regeneration of damaged cornea can save vision for millions of patients. Most of these patients are waiting for transplantation of a donor cornea or suitable substitute to restore vision. Although donor cornea transplantation is the most clinically accepted treatment, shortage of donor cornea results in almost 69 out of every 70 patients untreated with the waiting list for transplantation drastically increasing every year according to a prepandemic estimation. Therefore, corneal replacements are coming up as a cutting-edge alternative strategy. In view of the peptides, especially collagen-like peptides and peptide amphiphiles with bioactive functional motifs demonstrate promising avenue for the corneal tissue engineering and promoting regeneration, by their hierarchical self-assembling propensity to acquire desired nano-to macroscale 3D architecture. Here, we analyze rational peptide designing, self-assembly, and strategies of peptide/peptide-based nanoscale building blocks to create the extracellular matrix mimetic implants for functional regeneration of the cornea.
