In the article “Visual function at baseline and 1 month in acute optic neuritis: Predictors of visual outcome” by M.J. Kupersmith et al. and The Optic Neuritis Study Group (Neurology® 2007;69:508–514), the data in table 5 were misinterpreted as row percentages but they were actually column percentages. The correct statement in the article should read as follows: “Among patients with 6-month visual acuity ≤20/50, at baseline 79% had ≤20/200, 17% had 20/50–20/190, and 7% had ≥20/40 visual acuity. Six-month acuity ≤20/50 occurred in 15% with ≤20/200, 4% with 20/50–20/190, and 1% with ≥20/40 at baseline.”
