  • "If you have dry eyes, this is the place to go! I had no idea there were so many options available to me other than eye drops!"

    - Anne A.

  • "Dr. Rights has helped me so much with my dry eye. My eyes used to burn and feel so tired at the end of the day. My vision was blurry and I was miserable. I had Intense pulsed light (IPL) and red light therapy. She has diagnostic equipment and educated me on my findings. I’m so lucky to have found her!"

    - Lois F.

I was referred here for IPL therapy as an additional treatment and it has made a world of difference. Doctor and staff are very friendly and took the time to go over the process and educate me more about my treatment."

Service Highlights

OptiLight Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

A light-based treatment that targets ocular rosacea, telangiectasia, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

  • Who it’s for: Patients with inflammatory dry eye, rosacea, or recurrent chalazia.

  • How it works: Pulsed light applied to the periocular area reduces abnormal vessels, decreases inflammation, and improves meibomian gland function.

  • Benefits: Restores tear film stability, reduces redness, and improves skin tone around the eyes.

MiBoFlo Thermal Expression Therapy

A heat-based treatment that applies consistent therapeutic temperature to the eyelids.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with evaporative dry eye due to gland obstruction or those not ready for IPL/RF.

  • Benefits: Melts meibum, unclogs glands, and relieves lid tenderness and inflammation.

ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment)

An in-office lid & lash cleansing procedure using a natural okra-based gel.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with blepharitis, Demodex, lash debris, or biofilm accumulation.

  • Benefits: Exfoliates the lid margin, reduces bacterial load, and improves lid hygiene and comfort.

Laboratory Wellness Testing

  • Omega-3 Index: Identifies fatty acid imbalance contributing to meibomian dysfunction.

  • Vitamin D Testing: Low levels are linked to chronic inflammation and poor tear quality.

OptiPlus Radiofrequency (RF)

Delivers gentle heat and micro-stimulation to liquefy meibum and stimulate collagen production in periocular skin.

  • Who it’s for: MGD patients, post-IPL maintenance, or patients seeking non-surgical tightening around the eyelids.

  • Benefits: Increases gland secretion, improves meibum flow, and rejuvenates eyelid skin.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

Red and blue LED light therapy to reduce inflammation, stimulate gland healing, and target bacteria.

  • Red Light: Anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating for MGD, post-IPL, or post-procedure recovery.

  • Blue Light: Antimicrobial and mite-reducing for blepharitis and Demodex.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with inflammation, chronic MGD, or lid disease needing non-contact, comfortable treatment.

NuLids Pro

A professional oscillating device that cleanses and exfoliates the lid margin to remove biofilm, debris, and keratinized tissue blocking gland openings.

  • Who it’s for: Blepharitis, Demodex, MGD, or patients needing a deeper lid cleaning than at-home hygiene provides.

  • Benefits: Improves gland secretion, reduces inflammation, and enhances comfort and tear stability.

Allergy Skin Testing & Ocular Allergy Management

In-office skin testing to identify environmental allergens contributing to ocular surface inflammation.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with itching, redness, watering, or suspected allergy-related dry eye.

  • Benefits: Enables targeted environmental or immunotherapy recommendations.

OptiLift Dynamic Muscle Stimulation Therapy (DMSt)

Combines RF energy and dynamic muscle stimulation to activate periocular muscles and improve tone, circulation, and gland function.

  • Who it’s for: MGD, lower lid laxity, incomplete blinking, as well as those seeking subtle tightening and rejuvenation.

  • Benefits: Enhances gland function, improves blink efficiency, reduces puffiness, and firms periocular skin.

Punctal Plugs & Lacrifill

Temporary or semi-permanent occlusion to conserve tears and improve surface moisture.

  • Who it’s for: Patients with aqueous-deficient dry eye or Sjogren’s syndrome.

  • Benefits: Reduces tear evaporation, prolongs drop retention, and relieves dryness.

Amniotic Membrane Therapy

Uses cryopreserved or dehydrated biologic tissue to promote corneal healing and reduce inflammation in advanced ocular surface disease.

  • Who it’s for: Recurrent corneal erosions, persistent epithelial defects, keratitis, or severe dry eye.

  • Benefits: Accelerates healing, reduces pain and scarring, and restores corneal integrity.
