The prevalence and costs of optical correction for childhood myopia in Scotland
Total spending on GOS(S)3 vouchers for the correction of myopia is lower than the combined spending on GOS(S)3 vouchers for emmetropia and hyperopia. However, children with myopia received more additional GOS(S)3 vouchers than other refractive groups, suggesting these children experienced more short-term changes to their spectacle prescription.
