Our History and Mission

About Us

We exist to maintain and improve the vision of our patients

Eye Specialist Institute is the longest continuously running ophthalmic practice in Queensland, initially established by the late Dr Noel Sampson in 1957. Our practice continues to provide excellent patient care across three Gold Coast locations and caters for a wide range of eye conditions and ophthalmic procedures.

Our commitment to providing an exceptionally high standard of patient care is driven by a world-class ophthalmic surgeon with specialist training in vitreoretinal, macular and cataract surgery, Dr Robert Bourke.

We pride ourselves in being ophthalmic innovators, giving our very best to deliver the highest quality vision possible for our patients using the safest technology and advanced techniques. Our choice of treatment is tailored to each individual patient and is based upon their intended goals, clinical evidence and our team’s wealth of expertise.

You are in safe hands through your eye health journey, under the expert care of our team of specialist doctors, Dr Robert Bourke, Dr Lewis Lam, Dr Sharon Morris, Dr Daniel Allbon, and Dr Darryl Gregor, each highly skilled in their particular ophthalmic sub-specialty.
