About Me

Wade Tucker, MD, is a cataract and anterior segment surgeon at Southern Eye Center.

Dr. Tucker also offers laser vision correction (LASIK, PRK, PTK) and comprehensive glaucoma care, including micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), often coordinated with cataract surgery. He provides care for dry eye and diabetic eye disease and values collaborative decision-making so patients understand their options and expected outcomes.
