He graduated first in his class from Baylor College of Medicine, where he was a member of the honorary Alpha Omega Alpha fraternity, comprised of only the top 10 percent of the class, and in 1984 was awarded the Michael DeBakey Scholar Award, given to the top medical student in the class. After completing his ophthalmology residency at Baylor College of Medicine, where he was named chief resident, he completed a fellowship in retinal disease and surgery at the prestigious Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, Fla.

Dr. Wade returned to practice laser vision correction in Houston where he is a partner and co-founder of Eye Center of Texas. He provides a full scope of medical/surgical eye care, including LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, Intacs, cataract surgery, glaucoma and retina.  He was one of the first cataract surgeons in Houston and the U.S. to offer Refractive Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (ReLACS) to cataract patients.

Among his numerous recognitions, VISX named him one of the ‘Top 100 LASIK surgeons in the U.S.,’ and he is presently one of a select number of surgeons in Houston to offer “Intacs” for Keratoconus and “ICL”s; procedures for extremely nearsighted people who are not candidates for LASIK eye correction. He is ranked as one of the TOP 5 ReSTOR surgeons in the country and has more experience with the ReSTOR Lens than any surgeon in the Houston area. He is ranked #2 in the country for number of LenSx cases.  In addition to his practice, he lectures internationally on a variety of eye care subjects, and has published numerous articles.
