When Jesus cured the blind man in John 9, all He needed was a little mud.
Dr. Ming Wang requires more.
Oh, sure, some might say that Ming is a miracle worker in his own right. But the good doctor knows that curing someone’s sight takes more than mud. It takes knowledge. It takes skill. And Ming (he might say with all due modesty) has plenty of both. You’d expect nothing less from the country’s best eye surgeon.

Dr. Ming Wang, a Chinese immigrant who overcame staggering obstacles to become one of the most renowned eye surgeons in the United States, says his faith has given him a passion for caring for the "least of these."
"The biggest impact of being a Christian over the last many decades is it makes me humble, recognizing that we, as human beings, are ultimately limited. We have to be willing to ask God for help," Dr. Wang told The Christian Post.
For Dr. Ming Wang, science and faith play crucial roles in helping blind people see.

On the coast of Moldova, the Hendrichs adopted a child who had been blind since birth. No matter how many clinics the family attended or how many experts they called, the doctors said Maria would never be able to see. But after six months of silence, there was finally one call back. The fifteen-year-old Maldivian and her new family ended up in Nashville, Tennessee, at the eye clinic of the only man the family was told could perform the miracle they wanted: Dr. Ming Wang.
Dr. Wang stands with very few as a Harvard and MIT graduate with a doctorate in laser physics. As a Chinese-American who came to the United States with fifty dollars in his pocket and the expectations of his hometown behind him, Dr. Wang is now a living testament to the American Dream.
But in a changing America that accepts immigrants yet expects nothing of them, Dr. Wang has his own message to share. Universal Studios is launching the movie Sight, which documents the doctor’s story, on Oct. 27, 2023
