An Erratum on
Rheological Properties and Age-Related Changes of the Human Vitreous Humor

by Tram, N. K., and Swindle-Reilly, K. E. (2018). Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 6:199. doi: 10.3389/fbioe.2018.00199

Due to a production error, the value of the Loss Modulus Data Type, for the Human species in the last column of Table 2, was erroneously changed.

TABLE 2

Table 2. Summaries of rheological data of the vitreous humor.

The publisher apologizes for this mistake. The original article has been updated.
