Pamela E Theriot OD

Pamela Theriot, OD, FAAO, currently works as the clinical director of the Dry Eye Center at Lusk Eye Specialists in Shreveport, LA. She received her undergraduate degree from Rice University, her doctorate in optometry from the University of California at Berkeley, and finished her residency program at State University of New York, College of Optometry.

Dr. Theriot has also obtained a fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry and completed Dry Eye University. Since obtaining her degrees, she has acted as a consultant to several pharmaceutical companies and has served as an educator at optometric events. She has lectured at optometric events in New Mexico, Arizona, New York, and Lousiana.

Over her years of practicing in many different climates, Dr. Theriot has treated hundreds of patients with dry eye symptoms. Often times these patients have seen practitioner after practitioner with no resolution. They have usually been given a handful of over-the-counter drops, but never a plan on how to relieve their tired, dry eyes. Believing that our vision is a precious gift, Dr. Theriot set out to write this book to make dry eye treatment more accessible and easier to understand.

When she isn’t working in the office, she likes to run, swim, camp, and spend time with her Air Force husband, Gregory, and their two daughters, Emma and Alexandra. She currently lives in Benton, LA. She hopes her readers will find hope and healing as they learn how to better care for their eyes. Learn more about Dr. T and her thoughts on dry eye disease at her website: www.pamtheriot.com.
