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.
