Lyndon Ferguson | Gold Coast Optometrist

Lyndon Ferguson

Senior Associate Optometrist

Lyndon grew up in the Gold Coast hinterland and gained his optometry degree at QUT. A desire to travel took him to London, where he joined one of the most clinically advanced optometry practices in the U.K., eventually becoming clinical director. Upon returning home to Queensland, Lyndon was delighted to join the team at Envision Optical. 

Lyndon has broad clinical experience and professional interests, having worked in both private practice and hospital eye casualty settings. In addition to his undergraduate optometry degree, Lyndon also holds a Master of Science (Clinical Optometry) awarded by City University, London. As part of this study, Lyndon conducted research investigating the management of dry eye and ocular surface disease. He also has a Diploma of Therapeutics (IP), which means he is allowed to prescribe prescription only medicines for the treatment of eye disease. Lyndon holds additional post graduate qualifications in contact lenses, dry eye disease, glaucoma and medical retina (age-related macula degeneration and diabetic eye disease). He also has a keen interest in myopia management (slowing the progression of short-sightedness).  He is currently the Co-chair of the Education Committee of The Dry Eye Society, and has presented multiple lectures to peers and written several articles in optometry publications on the topic of dry eyes and ocular surface disease.

Lyndon is very much a ‘people person’ who loves getting to know his patients. outside of work, Lyndon enjoys cycling, and is always happy to receive gardening tips to help with his veggie patch!
