Is myopia surgery truly safe? Are there any postoperative restrictions? Can vision be corrected again if myopia recurs after surgery? Can myopia offset presbyopia? Is surgery an option for those aiming to join the military or become pilots?

Marking China's National Eye Care Day on June 6, this episode of CGTN Health Talk focuses on myopia surgery. CGTN invites Professor Zhou Xingtao, president of Shanghai Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, a leading expert in refractive surgery in China and a pioneer of Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) surgery. He discusses surgical safety and postoperative care, dispels common misconceptions and offers reliable advice on vision correction.
