"My eye doctor, Dr. Whitney McConkey, quite literally changed my life with her assessment and treatment plan for my debilitating dry eye condition. In her care, I have found relief through a custom designed maintenance regimen that includes the use of a DERM mask, prescription eye drops, and recently IPL for dry eye treatments that produced INCREDIBLE results (before and after photos included but more than the photos is how my eyes feel post treatment which is amazing). Make an appt with her at McConkey Eye Care in Nottingham, MD while you can because I’m telling everyone I know how amazing this practice is for dry eye relief!"
