About Me

Dr. Sean Wadley is a pediatric ophthalmologist who cares for infants, children, and teens with medical and surgical eye conditions, and he also treats adults with strabismus. He believes great pediatric eye care starts with listening—understanding a family's concerns, earning a child's trust, and tailoring care to each stage of development. His visits emphasize gentle, age-appropriate testing and clear education so parents know what the results mean and how treatment will help. Dr. Wadley completed ophthalmology residency at Baylor Scott & White Health in Texas and a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology at the University of Kentucky, where he gained broad experience managing amblyopia, complex strabismus, pediatric cataracts, and ocular problems related to prematurity and systemic conditions. He offers both non-surgical therapies and minimally invasive and standard strabismus surgeries when needed. Families value his warm bedside manner, practical guidance, and commitment to long-term visual outcomes.
