A vision for finding common ground in a polarized world

I’ve been in glasses since kindergarten and I’m 24 years old. I came across an advertisement for Dr. Wang’s vision seminar in Dickson, TN a few weeks ago. I decided to attend and bring two friends to receive a free $200 value 3D LASIK exam and 25% off a LASIK procedure. Before this, I have seen three other LASIK surgeons in North Carolina and with the military. All three times, I was told, “We’re sorry to inform you that you are not a good candidate for any laser corrective surgery due to your +4 diopter (high astigmatism).” I lost all hope of having good vision. I heard that Dr. Wang performed miracles when it came to people’s vision. When I showed up for my exam, I expected the same news as I received before. After the exam, the doctor said, “I hate to be the carrier of bad news…” and I knew in my head what was coming next. But I was wrong…. “I hate to be the carrier of bad news, but we’re going to have to put you in glasses for a week before we can operate. You seem to be a good candidate for Dr. Wang’s surgery.” I was thrilled! Before my operation, I had 20/400 vision uncorrected, which is about legally blind. After my next day post-op exam, my vision is recorded as 20/15. That’s better than 20/20. I’m extremely excited to be out of contacts and glasses and am so happy to see again. The procedure itself was completely painless and lasted only about 10-12 minutes from start to finish. Dr. Wang prayed with me before the operation for all to go well, and it did. Dr. Wang performed an operation that three other eye surgeons wouldn’t attempt (including a surgeon that the US Government trusts for the eyes of its service members) and he did it confidently and successfully. I feel that together, with God, he performed a miracle.
