Meet Our Doctor: Dr. Joy Lam
Dr. Joy Lam, a native of Houston, TX, earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with a minor in Biology from The University of Texas at Austin. Her passion for patient care flourished while working alongside optometrists during college. She later earned a Doctorate in Optometry, Magna Cum Laude, from the University of Houston College of Optometry.
Her personal experience with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) sparked a special interest in refractive surgery which included LASIK and implantable contact lenses (ICL). Dr. Lam’s dedication also extends to managing conditions such as dry eyes with the ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) deep lid cleanse, TearCare thermal expression and punctual occlusion, specialty multifocal contact lenses, and myopia control for children. She has certifications for MiSight® and Orthokeratology Lenses – also known as corneal refractive therapy (CRT).
Outside the realm of optometry, Dr. Lam derives joy from culinary exploration, hiking, yoga, and creating treasured travel memories with her husband and two sons (ages 4 and 1). With her holistic approach to patient care, she embodies a commitment to delivering comprehensive and personalized solutions for each of her patients.
