Michael E. Carney, O.D.
Vacaville Optometrist, Michael E. Carney, O.D., retired on December 30, 2015 after 45 years in practice. Dr. Carney was a 1970 honors graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Optometry. He started practice the same year on Merchant Street in Vacaville in partnership with Paul Nielsen, O.D. At that time, Vacaville only had 12,000 residents. Dr. Nielsen and Dr. Carney were partners for 19 years. Dr. Bruce Carr joined the practice in 1994 and remains in practice at the same location.
Dr. Carney helped generations of area residents to see their best. For nearly five decades, he was fortunate to have an occupation that he says he "truly loved." The very first patient that Dr. Carney examined continued seeing him during his 45 year career. Fittingly, she was also the last patient he saw on his last day in practice.

Bruce Carr, O.D.
Dr. Carr received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in 1990 and graduated from the University of Houston, College of Optometry in 1994. While attending the University of Houston, Dr. Carr was awarded Letters of Clinical excellence from 1992-94. Dr. Carr is a member of the American Optometric Association, California Optometric Association, Sacramento Valley Optometric Association and Past-President of the North Bay Optometric Association. Dr. Carr has also served as co-chair of the Vacaville Chamber of Commerce Education Committee.
Dr. Carr greatly enjoys being near both the mountains and the beach. Dr. Carr is also actively involved in many community programs such as the Boy Scouts of America, his church youth group, as well as coaching numerous sports teams.
There are many reasons that Dr. Carr enjoys being an Optometrist. First and foremost, he loves seeing his patients return year after year and seeing how they grow and progress. He also likes how the Optometry industry is constantly evolving, introducing new and exciting procedures such as LASER vision correction. Having had LASER vision correction himself, Dr. Carr is a great resource for those considering the procedure as well as deciding if the procedure is right for them. Dr. Carr also co-manages LASER surgery procedures, providing pre and post-op care.
