“I have a dream!”

Vision for the future…and a lifetime!

Martin Luther King so eloquently proclaimed, “I have a dream!” I, too, have a dream, and it is that one day working citizens of our great nation can see the vast world in front of them clearly and unreservedly, without the need for any type of visual aid. These fortunate individuals will have the greatest potential, the broadest choice of careers and the brightest futures--opportunities presented to them because when they were young university students, they were helped by the Wang Foundation for Sight Scholarship which made laser vision correction possible at a time when they could not afford it due to being in the early stages of their careers, where they had not yet established financial security. Though they are young and just starting out, their quality of vision after surgery will be optimal due to their youth and the considerable amount of years for which they will be able to enjoy the fruits of their surgeries! I have a dream… that one day there will be clear visual freedom for everyone, for a lifetime!
