Following publication of the original article [1], the authors identified an error in the first paragraph of the abstract.

The published incorrect version is as follows:

Purpose Although diabetes is highly prevalent in patients with MacTel, progression to severe non-proliferative (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is rarely reported. We report multimodal imaging features of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) in eyes with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel).

The correct version should read:

Purpose Although diabetes is highly prevalent in patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel), progression to severe non-proliferative (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is rarely reported. We report multimodal imaging features of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) in eyes with MacTel.

Further to this, the last sentence of the “Introduction” was erroneously duplicated.

The original article [1] is corrected.
