About Dr. Buxton

Dr. Susan Buxton graduated from the University of Waterloo School of Optometry before embarking on four years in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), where she established and ran optical workshops across the African continent. She trained Zairian nurses to perform eye exams and assisted surgeons during cataract and glaucoma surgery — an experience that shaped her deep commitment to accessible, impactful eye care. Since returning to Canada, she has continued that mission through regular trips to Guyana, South America with the Canadian Vision Care team.

Dr. Buxton moved to London, Ontario in 1992, where she co-founded Byron Optometry. In 2012, she began focusing her practice on neuro-functional optometry, and in 2016 collaborated to open London Vision Training Clinic on Southdale Road. Her clinical focus includes Behavioural Optometry for patients with Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), helping them retrain their eyes and brain to work together and reclaim lost function.

Dr. Buxton also works with patients with crossed or lazy eyes (strabismus and amblyopia), individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and athletes looking to elevate their visual performance to the next level.
