He chose to further his college career at Mississippi State University where he graduated Magna Cum laude with his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in December 2014. Dr. Johnson was a member of both Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Alpha Lambda honor societies while attending MSU. He decided in August 2016 to further his studies to become an optometrist. He became engaged with optometry through physics courses taken in his undergrad program. Concepts of how light refracts as it passes from one medium to another really interested him and altered his footsteps leading to optometry. While attending Southern College of Optometry, Dr. Johnson traveled to Frome, Jamaica as a member of the Fellowship of Christian Optometrists to provide eye exams to many individuals in need.
