On this week’s TechTalk episode, Dr. Jay and Brad had the pleasure of interviewing, T.J. Waggoner, a true color vision expert with years of experience.


Terrace L. Waggoner Jr., who goes by T.J., is the CEO and Co-Founder of Waggoner Diagnostics. He has been developing medical devices for approximately 10 years and has an impressive background in strategy, product development, marketing, operations and consulting.


T.J. Waggoner has an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Masters of Business Administration, and a Masters of Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of West Florida. T.J. has completed his coursework for a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior but he continues the painful process of checking all the boxes to finally obtain his Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate University.


T.J. fell into ophthalmic medical devices because of his father, Dr. Terrace Waggoner, and believes that not having an educational background in engineering or medicine has allowed him to think outside the box and create devices where other individuals saw too many constraints.


The Waggoner Diagnostics suite of color vision tests is the only cross-platform suite of color vision products available on the market today. The company is able to satisfy anyone interested in performing color vision tests, both screening and diagnostic, by providing traditional booklets (PIP), computerized color vision tests (App), and Internet-based testing (Web). There is a product that aligns with each potential customer’s needs perfectly by providing high-quality medical devices at an affordable price.
