The authors have found an error in the legends of Figures 2 and 3.

The correct figure legends are shown below.

The authors would like to apologise for this mistake.

Figure 2 Composite fundal photograph, showing the staphyloma (shown as the paler area on the right of the composite photo) at the temporal side of the left eye.

Figure 3 (a) Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits, illustrating the large left eye with bulging of the temporal (left) side. No other pathology apart from the staphyloma seen in the left eye. (b) Note also the left intraocular lens implant and ‘funnel’ retinal detachment with failed scleral buckling (retinal detachment attempted correction procedure) in the right eye.
