A typographical error resulted in an incorrect unit of measure being reported for calculation of irradiance (reported in error as 0.0045 mW/cm2 instead of the intended 0.0045 W/cm2). This erratum corrects the error that appears in the Results section of this article, on page 2314, and clarifies for the reader that iPSC‐RPE cells were exposed continuously to 0.0045 W/cm2 of 390–410 nm light for 1 hour each day for 5 days which resulted in an increase in the concentration of intracellular ROS and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential.
This correction is also discussed in the authors' reply to the Letter to the Editor by Anderson et al., “An Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Patient Specific Model of Complement Factor H (Y402H) Polymorphism Displays Characteristic Features of Age‐Related Macular Degeneration and Indicates a Beneficial Role for UV Light Exposure”. In the reply, Hallem et al. include additional details on the UV apparatus, the emission band, and the validation steps used.
