UT Professor to Introduce New LASIK to China
Dr. Ming Wang, clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Tennessee and director of the Wang Vision Institute, says he is scheduled to perform the first bladeless LASIK surgery (IntraLase) in China on Sunday.
Wang is a co-president of the three-day Shanghai International Eye Conference and is a native of China.
He mentions that the event will educate and train ophthalmologists from around the world. His live demonstration will allow him to share medical knowledge and improve patient care on a large scale.
"Three years ago, I had the wonderful chance of introducing this state-of-the-art bladeless LASIK procedure to Tennessee, but the scale was a bit more limited, i.e., we were the first in our state with 5 million people," he said in a prepared statement. "This time, it will be in a much larger scale, namely, the first in 1.3 billion people, amazing."
