"Everyone hopes that there is a child with myopia eye drops, it is best to be the eye drops of the gods, but the best eye drops may be health science."

On August 19, the Fifth "Chinese Physician's Day", the National Health and Health Commission held a meeting of Chinese and foreign journalists, inviting 4 individuals and 1 team representatives of the "most beautiful doctor" in 2022 to attend. Zhou Xingtao, the president of the hospital and chief of the ophthalmology, is one of them.

After working in the field of ophthalmology for more than 30 years, Zhou Xingtao has helped tens of thousands of patients with myopia successfully processed. In recent years, he has felt more and more patients with myopia and myopia, and more and more patients with myopia children and adolescents, and there is a trend of aging and high myopia development. Zhou Xingtao believes that the problem of vision health should be set up to seize the source of "defense". "Children can't wait until myopia or become high myopia or even complications, and then treat it again."

Despite the busy work, Zhou Xingtao still took a lot of time to invest in public welfare and popular science work. He said this is from the inherent needs of health promotion. The "Physician Law" stipulates that doctors and medical staff are responsible and obliged to do a good job of popular science propaganda and science education.

In recent years, the National Health and Health Commission and the Ministry of Education have made every effort to promote science popularization work. With the principle of "combining control", scientifically planned planning, accurately imposed policies, and promoted. The comprehensive prevention and control of children and adolescent myopia has been pushed away. Zhou Xingtao emphasized that ophthalmology experts should sink and use professional and scientific popularity. "It can be said that health science is the best protective" eye drops ".

Zhou Xingtao believes that the myopic science of myopia must be kind and friendly, and he has established the "Myopia Little Flying Man" popular science volunteer service team, and has become a brand in Shanghai. "When you are young, you must like martial arts novels. The Chinese tradition is‘ priceless, chivalrous hero ’, so we are called‘ myopia little flying man ’, which is very popular and praised by them.”

"The members of the team carried out various forms of popular science activities such as online and offline, communities, schools, libraries, etc., especially combined with public welfare. In recent years, they have done 'science popularization+public welfare'." Zhou Xingtao introduced, popular science public welfare Volunteers of the volunteer team make full use of the carriers such as the media, live broadcast, and comic books for science popularization. Enter some misunderstandings. "

Speaking of prevention of myopia, Zhou Xingtao said that he should establish refractive development files as soon as possible and establish eye health files as soon as possible. Only in this way, the prevention and control of children's myopia, adults' myopia correction, and high myopia related complications of middle -aged and elderly people can be better.

"As a surgeon, I hope that one day I can see that the surgery is better and better, but at the same time, the less and less." Zhou Xingtao said that the surgery would be less.
