Fergal qualified from Dublin DIT in 1990. He spent 2 years working in Dublin before moving to London where he worked for 11 years in various practice types, from hospital practice in St. Thomas's Hospital, London and St. Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, to high street practices including Dollond and Aitchison Opticians in various locations around London.


While in London Fergal undertook the City University MSc post-graduate programme for optometrists, which allowed him to enhance his knowledge in areas of interest to him, paediatric optometry, an area in which he has worked extensively when working in Ophthalmology Units in the different hospital in the UK.
