About Dr. Ming Wang, MD, PhD:

FromDarkness 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, a

philanthropist, and Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.

As a teenager, Ming played the Chinese violin erhu 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 America 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.

To date, Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 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 two surgeons

in the state who perform 3D SMILE & 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.
