My reaction when I ask a patient if they are doing their blinking exercises, and they respond “yes, but I feel like my eyelid muscles just aren’t strong enough,” knowing we have a new treatment to help!

OptiLift strengthens the orbicularis oculi muscles to help you blink more completely and close your eyes while sleeping!

We are so excited to offer another nonsurgical solution to help treat dry eye at the root cause, rather than masking the symptoms!

Do you get blurred vision when you blink or after staring at a book or computer for too long? Tour tear film may be evaporating too quickly. Optilift increases the time tears stay on the eye by a staggering 286%! It works to strengthen the muscles in the eyelid and has an added benefit of improved lid laxity. Call us to schedule today at 443-453-5444 or visit www.McConkeyEyeCare.com

Last week, The Dry Eye Foundation took to Capitol Hill to advocate for dry eye patients. A huge shoutout to our patient, Debbie, who joined them to fight for dry eye patients across the United States. Keep up the great work!

Day one without Ciera. The office hasn’t burned down yet, but time will tell.

Even on her last day, she brought the entire team together. You’ll notice some new faces around the office, and hear some new voices over the phone. Having our intern, Kylie, back this summer allowed for Ciera to spend her last few weeks fully training her replacement, and our newest hire is doing great! We can’t wait to officially introduce her in her own post, coming soon.

It was quite fun being a team of SEVEN the past few weeks, but we are back down to six.

We are NOT okay over here. Ciera, no words can express how much we will truly miss you. You are a gem, and we are so grateful that you were apart of the McConkey Eye Care team for the past two years. We have never met someone so organized, kind, and professional as you. You are a dream employee and we know one day you’ll be a dream NP. Congratulations on taking the next step in your journey. You’re going to thrive in all you do. We will truly miss you. ❤️🫶🏻

Did you know that more than 60% of dry eye sufferers have impaired lid closure? The act of closing the eye completely is vital to provide a healthy tear film and ocular surface. OptiLift is a game changer for dry eye sufferers. McConkey Eye Care will be the first in Harford and Baltimore Counties to get this ground breaking technology. We are so excited to offer our patients something more than just blinking exercises. Reach out to learn more or call to be placed on the waiting list today! 443-453-5444 or info@McConkeyEyeCare.com

OptiLift is coming to McConkey Eye Care! OptiLIFT uses proprietary Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt), which, as the name implies, stimulates muscles in the periorbital area with electrical impulses to tighten and tone. Over time, the muscle strengthens, improving function of the lower eyelid. The reduction in lid laxity was investigated in a recent clinical study, led by James Chelnis, MD, FACS, and the results showed 75% reduction in lid laxity, 70% improvement in blinking quality, and a 286% increase in tear breakup time following use of OptiLIFT. Keep an eye out for more updates and call/text 443-453-5444 to get on the waitlist!
