Summary
From Darkness to Sight chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang, a world-renowned laser eye surgeon and philanthropist. 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. Through his own tenacity and his parents’ tireless efforts to provide a chance of freedom for their son, Ming eventually made his way to America with $50 in his pocket and an American dream in his heart, where against all odds he would earn a PhD in laser physics and graduate magna cum laude with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT. He embraced his Christian faith and tackled one of the most important questions of our time - are faith and science friends or foes? - which led to his invention of a breakthrough biotechnology to restore sight.
To date, Dr. Wang has performed more than 55,000 eye procedures and has treated patients from nearly every state in the US and from more than 55 countries worldwide. He is considered the “doctor’s doctor”, as he has operated on more than 4,000 physicians. Dr. Wang has published eight textbooks including a paper in the world-renowned journal Nature, holds several US patents and performed the world’s first laser artificial cornea implantation. He is the recipient of the Honor Award from American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Chinese Physician Association. Dr. Wang is currently the only surgeon in the state who performs 3D LASIK (18+), 3D Forever Young Lens Surgery (45+), 3D Laser KAMRA (45+), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery (60+). Dr. Wang established a non-profit foundation which provides sight restoration surgeries for indigent patients who otherwise would never have the opportunity to receive them free-of-charge.

Inspiring and moving story!
This is the life story of Dr Ming Wang - one of the world’s most brilliant eye surgeons and a committed Christian. The eldest son of two academic and loving parents, Wang’s childhood was blighted by the oppressive cruelty and poverty of the Mao regime in China. After many setbacks, much hard work and heartache, he finally achieves his long hoped for desire to be a doctor - and it’s in the country of his childhood dreams…
