Erratum

Erratum in: “Peripheral Refraction in Different Ethnicities” by Pauline Kang, Paul Gifford, Philomena McNamara, Jenny Wu, Stephanie Yeo, Bonney Vong, and Helen Swarbrick (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2010;51:6059–6065) doi:10.1167/iovs.09-4747. 

Figure 1a included data from a subject who was later excluded from the study. The correct Figure 1 is printed below. 

Figure 1.

 

Relative peripheral refraction (RPR) for (a) M, (b) J₁₈₀, and (c) J₄₅ (D; mean). Error bars, SEM. Negative eccentricities denote the temporal visual field (nasal retina).

Figure 2 y-axis should not be between +1.00 and –1.50 D but between +1.50 and –1.50 D. The correct figure is printed below. 

Figure 2.

 

Relative peripheral refraction (RPR; D) for (a) emmetropes, (b) low myopes, and (c) moderate myopes. Error bars, SEM.

These changes do not affect the results and conclusion of this study.
