Traveling to BRIGHT Eyes

At BRIGHT Eyes in Boone, North Carolina, we proudly welcome patients who travel from across the High Country, greater Carolinas, Southeastern United States, and beyond.

Our patients often tell us they’ve “tried everything” before finding lasting relief here. BRIGHT Eyes offers innovative, boutique-level treatments not typically found in traditional eye care settings.

If you’re struggling with chronic dry eye, ocular rosacea, blepharitis, or complex vision issues like keratoconus or progressive myopia, you’ve come to the right place.

Why patients travel to see us

✔️ Advanced, hard-to-find technology – including OptiLight IPL, OptiPlus RF, OptiLift DMSt, MiboFlo, ZEST, NuLids Pro, Rinsada, Lacrifill, autologous serum tears, scleral lenses, Ortho-K lenses, and more
✔️ Comprehensive, one-on-one care with extended visits and personalized treatment plans
✔️ Programs designed for lasting results, not temporary fixes
✔️ Integrative and aesthetic approach that blends medical precision with a calming, spa-like experience
✔️ Seamless scheduling to make your trip efficient and worthwhile

How we make it easy

We understand that traveling for medical care requires planning, so we offer concierge-style coordination for our out-of-town patients:

  • Pre-visit virtual consultations to review your history and create a preliminary plan

  • Same-day diagnostics and treatment options whenever possible

  • Multi-appointment scheduling (e.g., IPL + red light therapy + follow-up) to minimize travel days

  • Personalized aftercare and follow-up support via phone or telehealth

Our goal is to make your visit feel seamless, restorative, and absolutely worth the trip.
