In the article titled “Prevalence of Selected Eye Diseases Using Data Harvested from Ophthalmic Checkup Examination of a Cohort of Two Thousand Middle Eastern and North African Subjects” [1], there was an error in the first row of Table 2, where “Number of DR” should be corrected to “No DR.” This occurred due to a production error. The corrected table is shown below.
