Many believe actress Wang Churan would look even more stunning without her glasses—but why does the C-drama star refuse to undergo vision correction surgery despite having nearly -6.0 diopters of myopia?
During the recent iQIYI Scream Night, fans noticed Wang Churan using eye drops while seated among the audience. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time she’s done so. At various public events, the actress has often been spotted discreetly applying artificial tears—an action rarely seen from other female celebrities.
The reason? Wang Churan suffers from severe nearsightedness. On normal days, she wears prescription glasses, but for film shoots, photoshoots, and red carpet events, she opts for contact lenses instead. As a result, her eyes frequently become dry, forcing her to rely on eye drops for relief.
Wang has shared that her poor eyesight is largely due to bad habits during her school years—such as using her phone in complete darkness and lying on her side while watching videos. These routines gradually worsened her vision, eventually leading to her current level of myopia.
In the entertainment industry, many stars with similar issues often opt for LASIK or other corrective eye surgeries to simplify their work routines and ditch their glasses for good. However, Wang Churan refuses to follow suit.
The reason? A horror movie. Wang once watched Final Destination, which features a terrifying eye surgery scene that left a lasting impact on her. The psychological trauma was so intense that she’s still haunted by the imagery and refuses to consider undergoing the procedure.
Fans were shocked to learn about her severe condition, especially since Wang Churan’s eyes appear bright and expressive, with a sharp gaze that belies the typical look of someone with such extreme myopia. This contrast only enhances her charm and solidifies her status as one of C-entertainment’s rising visual icons.
Currently, Wang Churan is gaining attention with several highly anticipated drama projects, including How Dare You!? and That Moment Overdo. Her refusal to undergo surgery, rooted in cinematic fear, has only made fans admire her more for embracing her unique beauty and being true to herself.
