Eye surgeries gain popularity among young

Spike in procedures in summer driven by desire for convenience, better looks

Li Tianyi, who had artificial lenses implanted in her eyes to treat myopia in the winter of 2022, said she is satisfied with the outcome of the surgery so far.

"In the past, my glasses kept getting in the way when I worked out," the 22-year-old said.

"They would also fog up with a mask and smudge my makeup. The procedure has erased these hassles in my life, and I do not have dry eyes or other complications."
