The new multifocal presbyopic intraocular lens, which Dr. Wang helped introduce to our state, represents the most advanced technology for treating presbyopia and for cataract surgery. Compared with previous multifocal lenses, these new lenses are better in the following three important ways:

• Excellent vision in all three ranges (near, intermediate, distance)
• Excellent night vision
• Vision not affected by pupil size or lighting conditions

The improved reading ability of patients who receive this new lens is expected to be unaffected by aging -- provided one maintains good eye health--so therefore, many of our patients refer to it as the “Forever Young Lens™”!

• A Harvard and MIT graduate (MD, magna cum laude), and one of the few eye surgeons in the world today who holds a doctorate degree in laser physics, Dr. Wang was one of the first surgeons in the state to implant the new Forever Young Lens™.
• Dr. Wang has been performing intraocular lens procedures for the past 15 years, and is one of the most active Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) surgeons in the US today.
• The Forever Young Lens™ technology requires the state-of-the-art LASIK/PRK technology--for which WVI is an international leader--to back it up. Dr. Wang was the first in the state to perform bladeless all-laser LASIK, and he has performed over 55,000 LASIK procedures, including on over 4,000 doctors. He was also the first in the world to perform a laser-assisted artificial cornea implantation.
• WVI is equipped with the most advanced corneal and lens imaging technologies. The successful performance of these new lens procedures depends critically on the understanding and accurate measurement of corneal and anterior segment dimensions. Dr. Wang published a major textbook on corneal topography (see below), and holds several US patents for related technologies.
• For many years, WVI has been assisting a great number of regional cataract surgeons by performing IOL lens calculations for their cataract surgery patients.
• Dr. Wang has published five major textbooks in the corneal field: 
  
  • “Corneal Topographyin the Wavefront Era” : This textbook is about corneal topography, the most important imaging technology today for keratoconus;
  • “Corneal Topography: A Guide for Clinical Application in the Wavefront Era, Second Edition” : This textbook is about corneal topography, the most important imaging technology today for keratoconus;
  • “Irregular Astigmatism – Diagnosis &Treatment”: This textbook is the world’s first major textbook that is dedicated to treating this main cause of visual loss in keratoconus patients, irregular astigmatism.
  • “Corneal dystrophy and degeneration – a molecular genetic 
    approach”: This textbook is about the understanding of corneal dystrophies such as keratoconus, published by American Academy of Ophthalmology.
  • “Keratoconus and keratoectasia – prevention, diagnosis and treatment”: This textbook keratoconus, the first major textbook that synthesizes our current knowledge about this disease and the state-of-the-art treatment.
  • LASIK VISION Correction
• Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration, a 501c(3) charity, has helped patients from over 40 states in the US and 55 countries worldwide, with all sight restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge.
