Erratum

Article Outline

 

In the article “Surgeon Offsets and Dynamic Eye Movements in Laser Refractive Surgery” (J Cataract Refract Surg 2005; 31:2058–2066), there are several mistakes.

Abstract: The second sentence in Results should read as follows: “The laser center was typically misaligned below (inferiorly) and to the left (nasally and temporally in left and right eyes, respectively) of the pupil center.” Patients and Methods: The following sentence was inadvertently deleted from the first paragraph: The laser's repetition rate was 50 Hz. Discussion: (1) The next to last sentence of the first paragraph should read as follows: If patients experienced the same amount of decentration in a customized ablation, we expect that the treatment would correct approximately 50% of the higer-order aberrations (based on the calculations by Guirao and coauthors). (2) The second sentence in the fourth paragraph should read as follows: Becker and coauthors15 reported a range of observed cyclotorsion of approximately 2 degrees in 38 eyes and also detected no significant change in cyclotorsion between patients in a seated position under binocular viewing conditions and a supine position under monocular conditions.
