Meet Dr. Damon Dierker 😎 aka Dry Eye Guru.
He’s a graduate of the Indiana University School of Optometry and completed fellowship training in consultative optometry, specializing in diagnosing and managing complex eye diseases. In 2007, he earned Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry — an honor awarded to only a small percentage of optometrists nationwide.
When he’s not helping patients see their best, Dr. Dierker is busy teaching the next generation of optometrists as adjunct faculty at Indiana University School of Optometry, running our clinical externship program, and lecturing to doctors across the country.
Oh, and he also founded Dry Eye Boot Camp and co-founded Eyes On Dry Eye, because he's that passionate about dry eye disease. 🦾
His clinical interests include:
👁️ Advanced dry eye treatments including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT), TearCare, LipiFlow, iLux, BlephEx, ZEST, and Prokera (he really knows his stuff here!)
Basically: if your eyes are being dry and dramatic, Dr. Dierker is the one who sets them straight. 👏
