Started in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, Periman Eye Institute was created to put the patient first. Our dedicated team is here to help navigate your personalized treatment of dry eye. We understand what it is like to live with dry eye and are passionate about helping you find relief.

Located in the heart of Seattle, WA, Periman Eye Institute is a premier ophthalmology practice specializing in dry eye and ocular surface disease. Led by Dr. Laura M. Periman, a board‑certified ophthalmologist, fellowship‑trained cornea and refractive surgeon, and internationally recognized ocular surface expert. Our team delivers a high standard of evidence‑based care combined with deep compassion and personalized attention.

Our mission is to bridge cutting‑edge science and compassionate patient care in a welcoming environment. We focus on diagnosing and treating complex ocular surface and dry eye conditions using comprehensive diagnostics and innovative therapies.

Dr. Periman is known globally as the “Dry Eye Master” for her leading-edge knowledge in managing multifactorial dry eye disease, rooted in immunopathophysiology and ocular surface science. We offer state-of-the-art therapies delivered through an individualized treatment plan. Patient‑centered care lies at our core. Starting from the first visit, your symptoms are met with detailed evaluation using validated questionnaires (e.g. OSDI), tear osmolarity testing, meibography, MMP-9 markers, and microscopic eyelash analysis when needed. We craft personalized treatment plans—blending topical therapies, lid hygiene, treatments, prescription, and lifestyle strategies—coupled with ongoing education so patients feel informed and empowered.

Periman Eye Institute reflects Dr. Periman’s guiding philosophy: “Eyes belong to the whole person.” Our patients experience not just excellent medical care, but comprehensive support that considers ocular health within the broader context of underlying medical conditions, overall wellness and lifestyle. We strive to deliver world-class ocular surface care in Seattle—and to make that care feel sincerely human.

Periman Eye Institute in Seattle, WA is driven by a vision: to offer scientifically advanced, compassionate care for dry eye and ocular surface disorders. Under Dr. Laura Periman’s leadership, we combine the latest research, patient-first philosophy, and clinical excellence in every encounter.
