After 38 wonderful years of practicing optometry—including the last 34 years caring for patients in our community—Dr. Timothy Busey has announced his retirement. His final day seeing patients will be December 31, 2026.

For more than three decades, Dr. Busey has had the privilege of caring for generations of families, celebrating life's milestones with his patients, and helping our community see the world more clearly. His compassion, dedication, and commitment to exceptional patient care have left a lasting impact on countless lives, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he has contributed to Community Eye Care.

While we will certainly miss seeing Dr. Busey in the office, our patients can rest assured that their eye care will continue seamlessly. Our experienced team of providers at Macon County Community Eye Care and Mt. Zion Community Eye Care will continue delivering the same compassionate, high-quality care you've come to expect.

Please join all of us at Community Eye Care in congratulating Dr. Busey on an extraordinary career and wishing him a happy, healthy, and fulfilling retirement. Thank you, Dr. Busey, for 38 years of dedication, kindness, and service. Your legacy will continue to inspire us for years to come.

💙 Congratulations on your retirement, Dr. Busey! You will always be a valued part of the Community Eye Care family.
