Randal Lamont graduated from Optometry at Melbourne University in 1977. His early interests were related to the detection and management of diabetic eye disease. He was one of the first optometrists in Australia to gain certification to prescribe Ocular Therapeutics, having travelled to Boston USA to complete the clinical component of his training.

Randal is an early adopter of new technology and loves using digital imaging techniques to monitor the ocular health of his patients. He has ensured that the practice is up to date with a full complement of diagnostic instrumentation. Contact lens fitting is also an area of interest and Randal is experienced at more complicated contact lens fitting such as keratoconus patients and bifocal rigid lenses. He is also experienced at fitting ortho-keratology lenses which correct myopia when worn overnight.

Randal plays squash, skis and supports the Demons. He also enjoys music, food and wine and travelling with Jean, their two sons and extended family.
