In the subsection ‘Vasculopathic factors’, the following sentences have been corrected: “However, they differ in subsequent structural damage as evidenced by OCT changes, as both may show thinning of the retinal nerve fibre layer and macular ganglion cell layer, but thinning of the macular inner nuclear layer, typically present in NAION, is not observed in diabetic papillopathy (31). Also, although the exact aetiopathogenic mechanism of a diabetic papillopathy has not been fully elucidated, it seems to be different to the acute onset of ischemia in NAION.” The updated version reads as follows: “NAION and diabetic papillopathy may present with similar clinical features in the initial presentation, as well as subsequent structural damage as evidenced by OCT changes, as both may show thinning of the retinal nerve fibre layer and macular ganglion cell layer, with preservation of the macular inner nuclear layer (31). However, although the exact aetiopathogenic mechanism of a diabetic papillopathy has not been fully elucidated, it seems to be different to the acute onset of ischemia in NAION.” The original article has been corrected.
