The authors of “First-Year Visual Acuity Outcomes of Providing Aflibercept According to the VIEW Study Protocol for Age-Related Macular Degeneration” (Ophthalmology 2016;123:337-43) would like to make the following correction to their article:

Matoba y otros (p. 451) observaron una queratopatía dendriforme asociada con una exposición tópica oftálmica al preservante poliquaternium-1 (PQ-1). Para esta serie de casos, los investigadores revisaron las historias de 16 pacientes expuestos a PQ-1 ya fuera debido al uso de soluciones desinfectantes para lentes de contacto (n = 13) o productos de lágrimas artificiales (n = 3). Todos los pacientes experimentaron resolución de las lesiones dendriformes en el término de 2 a 6 semanas después de la eliminación de su exposición a PQ-1.

A 41-year-old man with AIDS presented with decreased vision in the left eye; he denied other symptoms. Medications included efavirenz, tenofovir, and emtricitabine, and his CD4 cell count was 31 cells/μL. He had been diagnosed 8 months previously with acute retinal necrosis in the right eye, with no light perception. Examination of the left eye showed minimal inflammation in the anterior chamber and vitreous. Ophthalmoscopy showed hemorrhagic papillitis, retinal necrosis, hemorrhage, and diffuse vascular sheathing.

The authors of “Tissue Interleukin-17 and Interleukin-23 as Biomarkers for Orbital Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis” (Ophthalmology 2015;122:2140-2) would like to make the following correction to their article: Dr. Lee Teak Tan’s name was incorrectly listed as Tan Lee Teak in the article byline.

Matoba (p. 451) 等观察到一系列和眼表防腐剂聚季铵盐 (ployquaternium-1 [PQ-1]) 使用相关的树枝状角膜病变。此病例系列中, 研究者回顾了16名患者的病历记录, 这些患者或通过接触镜消毒护理液 (n=13) , 或通过人工泪液制剂 (n=3) 接触PQ-1。所有患者在停止PQ-1暴露后2∼6周内树枝状病变均缓解。由于16名病例中10名被初诊为单疱病毒性角膜炎或棘阿米巴角膜炎, 因此文章作者强调鉴别诊断的重要性。作者总结: 树枝状病灶 性质粗糙、呈灰色隆起, 周围见粗糙上皮病变, 但缺乏上皮糜烂, 这些特征均有助于临床医生区分PQ-1相关角膜病变和感染性病变。

A 60-year-old man with a history of schizoaffective disorder, diabetes, and hypertension presented for central floaters and blurred vision in both eyes (OU). He had a longstanding history of antipsychotic drug use and staring at the sun. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/30 in the right eye (OD) and 20/40 in the left eye (OS). Ophthalmoscopy demonstrated areas of yellow, central macular reflex in each eye (Figs 1 and 2). Optical coherence tomography evinced areas of atrophy in the retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors, and outer retinal segments in the fovea OU (Fig 3A–B).
