In the fourth sentence of the Results section of the Abstract, the two Spearman's correlation values for reading speed and NEI VFQ-25 have been transposed. The sentence should read: “Convergent validity with binocular measures was strong (Spearman's correlation = 0.72 for reading speed, 0.66 for NEI-VFQ-25).” The values are quoted correctly elsewhere in the main article, and this error does not alter the overall interpretation of the results. The article has been corrected online.
