About of Dr Robert Bourke

Dr Robert Bourke is an ophthalmologist, also called an eye specialist, based in Southport on the Gold Coast. The practice is at Ground Floor, 2 Short Street, Southport QLD 4215.


Eye care is a big mix of everyday checks and treating issues when they pop up. In the clinic, Dr Bourke helps people with eye exams and ongoing eye health. These visits are often about making sure vision is clear, and that the eyes look and feel right.


For glasses or contacts, Dr Bourke can provide prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. Dry eyes are also a common reason people come in. Over time, dry eye can make eyes feel gritty, sore, or tired, especially with screens and air conditioning. Treatment and management plans are tailored to what’s causing the dryness and how it affects daily life.


At times, eye infections need quick attention too. Dr Bourke offers treatment for eye infections, helping settle symptoms like redness, irritation, and discharge. The aim is to reduce discomfort and help the eye recover safely.


Because each patient’s situation can be a bit different, appointments focus on understanding what’s happening and what will help next. This might include simple checks, advice on eye comfort, and the right follow-up if symptoms don’t improve as expected.
