The sixth sentence of the Introduction should read, “In several large studies of unselected individuals, predominantly twins, researchers have investigated to what extent genetic variation contributes to the variation in ocular quantitative components, and results have generally supported a substantial polygenic contribution.”
In the Results, “Quadratic Relationship with Age Fitted Best for ACD and for Refraction in Both Populations” should not be a subheading. “Quadratic relationship with age fitted best for ACD and for refraction in both populations.” should be the last sentence of the previous paragraph.
In Table 4, in the Covariate Effect Size column, scientific notation should not have been used. The fifth line should be −0.0632, the fifth line from the bottom should be 0.239, and the fourth line from the bottom should be 0.481.
The word “age” was left out of the Table 4 legend. The first sentence of the legend should read, “Best model represents the best-fitting and most parsimonious model, with significant covariates built after testing the effects of age, age squared (age2), sex, BMI, height, and YrEd.”
