Dr Lewis Lam is an Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) based in Southport, on the Gold Coast. You can find the practice at Ground Floor, 2 Short Street, Southport QLD 4215. He looks after people who need help with everyday eye problems as well as things that need a closer look.
In clinic, Dr Lam helps with eye exams and can provide prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. If your vision has changed, you’ve had trouble seeing clearly, or you just want to check how your eyes are tracking, an eye exam can be a good place to start. He also does eye pressure testing (tonometry), which is useful for checking how your eye pressure is going, especially if there are concerns around glaucoma.
Eye infections happen, and they’re not always the same for everyone. Dr Lam can assess and help treat eye infections, including cases where your eyes are sore, irritated, or feeling gritty. At times, symptoms like redness and discomfort can come from more than one cause, so having an eye specialist check things properly can make a real difference.
Dr Lam also sees patients who need support with contact lens fitting and care. Some people find contacts comfortable right away, while others need a bit more guidance to get the fit and prescription right. The goal is usually simple: help you see well and feel comfortable, with a plan that fits your day-to-day life.
Over time, Dr Lam’s work has focused on practical eye care—things like exams, testing, and treatment when symptoms show up. The clinic services cover common, real-world eye needs, whether you’re booking in for a vision check, needing a new prescription, or getting treatment for an infection. If you’re not sure what’s going on with your eyes, it’s okay to start with an assessment and go from there.
