Last evening, I had an opportunity to attend a lecture from the University of Hawaii’s interdisciplinary AI series, where Dr. Ming Wang discussed AI principles and applications in medicine. The experience left me thinking about the responsibility that comes with innovation.

I first encountered Dr. Wang’s story through Sight, the film inspired by his life, which I watched when it was released in 2024. I never imagined that I would later have the opportunity to connect with the person whose journey had moved me on screen.

Dr. Ming Wang is a personal friend of mine, and one thing I can say from knowing him is this: he is truly unselfish. His story of the amniotic membrane contact lens, or AMCL, is not only a story of medical invention. It is a story of what can happen when an inventor decides that healing people matters more than owning every possible benefit.

The AMCL technology was designed to help the surface of the eye heal. According to Wang Vision's AMCL page, Dr. Wang invented the technology, published scientific work about it, and obtained two U.S. patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 5,932,205 and 6,143,315. The same page describes AMCL as a natural healing lens that uses the scarless fetal wound-healing properties of the amniotic membrane to help damaged ocular surfaces recover.
