From Darkness to Sight

From Darkness to Sight chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang,

Harvard & MIT (MD, magna cum laude); PhD (laser physics), a world-renowned

laser eye surgeon, philanthropist, and Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.

As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape

one of history's darkest eras - China's

Cultural Revolution - during which millions of

innocent youth were deported to remote areas to

face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor.

He eventually made his way to the U.S. with $50

in his pocket, where against all odds, he earned

a PhD in laser physics and graduated with

the highest honors from Harvard Medical

School and MIT.

Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 eye

procedures including on over 4,000 physicians.

He has published 9 textbooks, holds several U.S.

patents, and performed the world's first laser

artificial cornea implantation. Drs. Ming

Wang and Joshua Frenkel are currently the

only surgeons in the state who performs

3D SMILE and 3D LASIK (18+), 3D

Implantable Contact Lens (21+), 3D Forever

Young Lens (45+), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery

(60+). Dr. Wang established a non-profit charity,

which to date has helped patients from over 40

states in the U.S. and 55 countries, with all sight

restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge.
