Correction: Prevalence and Causes of Blindness and Low Vision in Southern Sudan

In PLoS Medicine, volume 3, issue 12, doi::
In the Methods and Findings section of the Abstract, the figures 18/60
in the following sentence are incorrect and should read 6/18 to be consistent with what is in the main text of the article:
Prevalence of blindness ( presenting VA of less than 3/60 in the better eye) was 4.1 (95 confidence interval CI, 3.44.8); prevalence of low vision (presenting VA of at least 3/60 but less than 18/60 in the better eye) was 7.7 (95 CI, 6.78.7); whereas prevalence of monocular visual impairment (presenting VA of at least 18/60 in better eye and VA of less than 18/60 in other eye) was 4.4 (95 CI, 3.65.3).
Please note that this error does not change the data or the conclusions in the paper. It is an error in the abstract only.
