Correction to: Eye https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-023-02609-6, published online 17 June 2023

In the original article, the name ‘Terence R. Tarrant was incorrectly given as ‘Terance R. Tarrant’. Additonally, the following footnote was added: “Whilst writing this article I received the news that Terence Tarrant sadly passed away aged 93 after a short illness. For 46 years Tarrant examined and documented patient’s eyes and the paintings he produced significantly contributed to British Ophthalmology. When studying his artwork one can easily identify if it’s a ‘Tarrant’. His signature and paintings are as recognisable as any long-established artist that features in any national gallery. It has been the honour of this author to share his story, covering the life and career of the last retinal artist.”
