Abstract

Feng A, O’Neill J, Holt M, Georgiadis C, Wright MM, Montezuma SR. Clin Ophthalmol. 2016;10:1505–1511.Page 1505, line 3, “Results” section: “After education, 94% of patients versus 47% pre-teaching (P=0.0001) pulled down their lower eyelids. A total of 91% pre-teaching versus 59% post-teaching (P=0.0042) patients squeezed one drop into the lower fornix, 74% pre-teaching versus 26% post-teaching (P=0.0002) patients released the eyelid and closed the eye for 1 minute, and 56% pre-teaching versus 3% post-teaching (P=0.0001) patients applied nasal digital pressure on each eye.” This should have read as follows: “After education, 94% of patients versus 47% pre-teaching (P=0.0001) pulled down their lower eyelids.
