Independent Eye Care, Right Here in Olympia

Cedar Eye Care was built around a belief that eye care can be both highly professional and genuinely personal.

Bringing Eye Care Back Home

Before opening Cedar Eye Care, Dr. Sean Woolsey spent years practicing in a close-knit, privately owned vision clinic. When that practice was acquired by a national corporation, he experienced firsthand how different eye care can feel when decisions move farther away from the doctor, the patient and the local community.

The experience clarified what mattered most to him: familiar faces, meaningful relationships and the ability to put patients first.

Cedar Eye Care was created to bring that kind of care back home. As a locally owned and doctor-operated practice, we’ve built a place where patients can feel comfortable asking questions, understanding their options and developing a lasting relationship with the people caring for their eyes.
