Policy support, strong demand fuel eye care sector boom

In 2015, Beijing resident Zhao Min had refractive surgery at Ming Shiguang, a private eye clinic, rather than a public hospital.

Three years later, the 39-year-old has never regretted the decision.

"I thought about going to a well known public hospital, but it was too difficult to make an appointment with a renowned doctor, and the air quality was also poor due to the huge number of patients gathered there, making me feel uncomfortable," she said.
