Why choose us?
Why choose us?
Envision Optical has been a family owned business for 25 years and counting. As a third generation optometrist, Andrew is passionate about the role clear vision plays in allowing us to experience all that life has to offer. We are committed to providing personalised and comprehensive eyecare for the whole family, offering the latest optical technologies and a wide range of specialty services including complex contact lenses, myopia control and Ortho-K, as well as an advanced Dry Eye clinic. Our optometrists, Andrew, Lyndon, Christina and Nicole, are therapeutically endorsed and thus can prescribe medication for the treatment of eye conditions.
Why we chose to be independent?
Why we chose to be independent?
Being independent means we are able to take advantage of the latest technologies, lens advances and frame ranges to provide tailored solutions for every client. If there is an opportunity to update our services, we take it to ensure our clients are always given the best possible eyecare service.

Andrew Bowden
Optometry runs in my family, with 5 optometrists in the family to date! My dad had his own practice and I always wanted to do the same and help people. I've been a practicing optometrist for 30 years now. I love what I do and as it's my own business, I have the flexibility to offer unique services that aren't commonly available in many practices. In particular, I love that many of my clients have trusted me with their eye health for over 25 years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 kids, listening to music, going to concerts, watching the basketball and cricket and supporting the QLD Reds in rugby. I also love travel and reading good books.
Nicole Arnold
I've always loved science, especially in the medical field. I wanted to find a profession that enabled me to use this in practice so optometry seemed like the perfect fit for me, and it has been! I've been practicing optometry for 30 years. Having 4 children gives me lots to do in my spare time, I love spending time with them and my husband. We like going camping, especially near a beach, and watching family movies. I also enjoy reading.
Lyndon Ferguson
I have been practising as an optometrist since last century! After all these years I find my job today more interesting and rewarding than at any time during my career. With advances in technology and understanding we can do more than ever to help people see better and feel better about their eyes. And, not forgetting the best part of my job, I get to meet loads of interesting people from our local community.
Christina Bormann
I grew up on the Gold Coast and gained my optometry degrees at QUT in Brisbane. With an eight-year background in independent optometry, first as a dispenser, I love getting to know my patients and build genuine connections with my community. I enjoy engaging in eye health conversations, debunking myths, and like to take the time to understand your lifestyle needs, to find the right solutions for you and your eyes. Outside of optometry, I enjoy getting outdoors at the beach, going for a hike or a long run.
