The authors have identified that two references in this article were incorrect. Reference 28 was originally stated as:

28. Chew, E.Y. and Schachat, A.P. (2015) Should we add screening of age-related macular degeneration to current screening programs for diabetic retinopathy?. Ophthalmology, 122, 2155–2156.

This has been corrected to the following:

28. Chew, E.Y., Klein, M.L., Clemons, T.E., Agrón, E. and Abecasis, G.R. (2015) Genetic testing in persons with age-related macular degeneration and the use of the AREDS supplements: to test or not to test. Ophthalmology, 122, 212–215.

Reference 44 was originally stated as:

44. Pennington, K.L. DeAngelis, M.M. (2015) Epigenetic Mechanisms of the Aging Human Retina. J. Exp. Neurosci., 9, 51–79.

This has been corrected to the following:

44. Pennington K.L. and DeAngelis M.M. (2016) Epidemiology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD): associations with cardiovascular disease phenotypes and lipid factors. Eye and Vision, 3, 34.

The second listed affiliation of Margaret DeAngelis has also been clarified and the funding information has been updated.

The authors would like to apologize for these errors.
