There are errors in Tables 2 and 4. The first column of Table 2 should be labeled “Sanya”, not “Taiyuan.” Additionally, the values in the first and second columns of Table 2 are incorrect. In Table 4, there is an error in the value listed in the second column of the NUC With NUC row. Please see the correct Tables 2 and 4 here. The publisher apologizes for the errors.

Table 2. Prevalence of the five types of cataract per region.
