He received his medical training and medical degree from the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine. He obtained his residency training in ophthalmology at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary in Chicago. After residency, he obtained subspecialty training in Cornea Transplantation and LASIK Refractive Surgery by completing a fellowship program at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
Dr. Wang has contributed to the field of corneal disease and refractive surgery with scientific publications in medical literature and most recently by presenting his work at a national ophthalmic meeting for which Dr. Wang garnered “Best Paper of Session” distinction. During medical school and residency, he participated in research involving retinal pigment epithelial transplantation and corneal epithelial stem cell survival. Dr. Wang is board certified in ophthalmology. He is a member of the American Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the Castroviejo Cornea Society, and fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Dr. Wang strives to keep abreast of the latest advances in cataract, corneal and refractive surgery. Early in his employment at Omni Eye Specialists, Dr. Wang was instrumental in starting the astigmatism-reducing and premium-IOL programs that are now available for patients at the time of their cataract surgery. He was the first ophthalmologist in Colorado to implant Intacs® under an FDA-approved status for the surgical treatment of Keratoconus, a corneal thinning and scarring disorder. In addition to LASIK and PRK, Dr. Wang offers alternative refractive surgical techniques including phakic intraocular lens implantation for those who don’t qualify for more traditional refractive procedures. He is committed to providing patients the very best in medical and surgical care with the most up-to-date surgical techniques using only the latest state-of-the-art equipment provided at Omni Eye Specialists and Spivack Vision Center.
