The Herrick System™ of Occlusion Therapy was developed by Ophthalmologist, Robert S. Herrick, MD, a specialist in corneal and external diseases since the 1970's. Dr. Herrick has developed many innovative products and procedures used in the care of patients with Dry Eye Syndrome and Tear System Dysfunction. Today, he is credited as "The Father of Lacrimology"— the study of the lacrimal tear system and its effect on health and disease.

Dr. Herrick, and his son Robert Herrick II, founded Lacrimedics, Inc. in 1984, to offer a complete line of products and guidance materials for physicians and their office staff. The Herrick System features three patented types of plugs that have been designed for unparalleled ease of use, post insertion management, and maximum patient comfort.
