Since the publication of the above article, the authors have noticed that the number of patients with an SE refractive error of −3.00 ∼<−2.00 in Table 2 was incorrect. The correct table is shown below.
Table 2. Demographic characteristics of patients with intermittent exotropia.
| Characteristic | No. of patients (%) |
|---|---|
| Gender (male : female) | 240:271 |
| Photophobia (presense : absence) | 351:160 |
| Diplopia (presense : absence) | 10:501 |
| Age of onset (mean±SD, years) | 3.01±2.09 |
| Age at operation (mean±SD, years) | 6.34±1.86 |
| Dcc at pre-op (mean±SD, PD) | 21.95±2.92 |
| SE refractive error (D)a | |
| <−4.00 | 7 |
| −4.00∼<−3.00 | 5 |
| −3.00∼<−2.00 | 19 |
| −2.00∼<−1.00 | 55 |
| −1.00∼<0.00 | 110 |
| +0 00∼<+1.00 | 221 |
| +1.00∼<+2.00 | 79 |
| ≥+2.00 | 15 |
| Astigmatism (D)b | |
| <0.50 | 278 |
| 0.50∼<1.00 | 104 |
| 1.00∼<1.50 | 49 |
| 1.50∼<2.50 | 59 |
| ≥2.50 | 21 |
| SE anisometropia (D) | |
| <0.50 | 434 |
| 0.50∼<1.00 | 59 |
| ≥1.00 | 18 |
Abbreviations: D, diopters; Dcc, distance deviation with correction; PD, prism diopter; SE, spherical equivalent.
a
Level of refractive error defined by the less hyperopic eye for SE refractive error.
b
Level of refractive error defined by the less astigmatic eye for astigmatic refractive error.
The authors would like to apologize for this mistake.
