Whether it is his fundamentally good constitution or his thinness, Chou enjoys robust good health. He says that he had just his third tooth pulled for cavities at around the age of 60, still has no false teeth, and eats everything. Chou also has exceptionally good eyesight that allows him to read small print without squinting or putting on glasses.
也許是身體底子不算差，周夢蝶身形瘦瘦的，但可硬朗得很，自承拔掉第三顆蛀牙時大約是 60 歲，至今沒有一顆假牙，什麼都能吃，視力尤其好，連小螞蟻字都看得見，看字不用戴眼鏡或瞇著眼，得天獨厚。
