The Article contains errors in the Reference list. The authors omitted the below papers, which are listed as References 1–5. These should be cited in the discussion section as below:

“This result indicated that exposure to TS induced lens hardening, which causes presbyopia in humans16, 17, and that the rats exposed to TS can be used as a presbyopia model.”

should read:

“This result indicated that exposure to TS induced lens hardening, which causes presbyopia in humans[1,2], and that the rats exposed to TS can be used as a presbyopia model.”

And,

“Anderson and Stuebing assessed the objective AA as a function of age and showed that it decreased dramatically from 35 to 39 years and reached a plateau during the sixth decade of life, with almost no or very little decline between 50 to 60 years of age18.”

should read:

“Anderson and Stuebing assessed the objective AA as a function of age and showed that it decreased dramatically from 35 to 39 years and reached a plateau during the sixth decade of life, with almost no or very little decline between 50 to 60 years of age[3].”

Finally, in the Methods section under subheading ‘Establishment of a presbyopia rat model’,

“The TS exposure rat model was prepared as described previously24, 25.”

should read:

“The TS exposure rat model was prepared as described previously[4,5].”
