If you're searching for a kind, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth optometrist in Allen, Texas—you just found him.
We’re thrilled to officially introduce Dr. Brandon Igo, the newest face at Allen Eyecare Center! In our latest episode of the Eyes On You podcast, we sat down with Dr. Igo for a candid and fun conversation—from his journey into eye care (spoiler: he almost became a dentist) to his passion for helping patients with dry eye, contact lens comfort, and customized care that fits your lifestyle.
👨⚕️ From Midland to Allen: Dr. Igo’s Unexpected Journey Into Optometry
Dr. Igo didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming an eye doctor. In fact, his first plan was dentistry. But after working as a technician for his childhood optometrist, he fell in love with vision care. Why? Because he realized how powerful it is to help someone improve their sight instantly. That joy, that connection, and the daily impact it makes—that’s what inspired his path to optometry school.
🧠 A Nerd at Heart, A Healer by Trade
Whether he’s quoting Star Wars, watching Modern Family, or baking cookies (yes, he’s a solid baker too), Dr. Igo brings a warm, relatable personality into the exam room. But don’t let his humor fool you—his clinical knowledge runs deep. One of his favorite treatments right now? Punctal plugs for dry eye.
"Dry eye isn’t just a one-size-fits-all issue. I love customizing care, and punctal plugs give patients real, immediate relief—especially contact lens wearers who are sick of carrying drops everywhere."
💧 What Are Punctal Plugs? A Game-Changer for Dry Eye Patients
Many patients in Allen, Plano, and surrounding areas suffer from dry, gritty eyes. Dr. Igo is helping change that.
Punctal plugs are tiny, collagen-based inserts placed in your lower tear ducts to keep your natural tears on your eyes longer. They dissolve naturally and are painless to insert (most patients don’t even feel it). Whether you're struggling with contacts or screen time, this simple solution could bring serious relief.
✅ Fast 5-minute procedure
✅ No recovery time
✅ Six-month relief options
✅ Great for combination therapy (like Restasis or Xiidra users)
If you're constantly reaching for eyedrops or avoiding contacts, ask us about plugs during your next visit.
🌟 First Impressions Matter—and Dr. Igo is Already a Patient Favorite

He believes eye care should feel like family, and that’s exactly the culture you’ll find at Allen Eyecare Center. Whether you’re an anxious patient or bringing in a squirmy kid, he creates a calm, safe, and genuinely enjoyable experience.
🧒 Pediatric Vision, Myopia Control & Preventive Eye Care
Dr. Igo is especially passionate about preventative eye care for kids, including myopia management—a proactive way to reduce the progression of nearsightedness. He's excited about the future of vision technology and how it can help protect your child’s vision for life.
