Our History
We are pleased to welcome you to our practice. We know how much your eye health and appearance can mean to the quality of your life. We are honored to serve you and to provide your complete eye care needs.
The Vision & Eye Center was founded by Dr. Carl Carnaggio in 1976. He first opened an office located on Florida Boulevard, and then in 1985, he opened a second location on Sherwood Forest Boulevard. His Son, Dr. Joey Carnaggio, joined the practice in 2005. In January 2011, the Vision & Eye Center moved its Florida Boulevard office location across the street to a larger, more comfortable facility.
After serving as an optometrist in the United States Army and his local community of Baton Rouge for over 40 years, Dr. Carl Carnaggio retired in 2019. Dr. Joey Carnaggio took over the practice, working at both office locations until 2021, when Dr. Andrew K. Ganesh joined the practice. "Dr. Joey" and "Dr. G" now work together at both offices, splitting their time between the two locations.
The goal of the Vision & Eye Center is to provide exceptional primary eye care and quality optical materials with a friendly and
knowledgeable staff.
