Contact Lens Fittings and Training
Do your eyes feel dry, scratchy, or constantly irritated? You may be one of the millions of people suffering from Dry Eye Syndrome— a common but often overlooked condition that affects daily comfort and vision quality.

At Big Lake Eye Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye with advanced techniques and personalized care that brings lasting relief.

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This results in irritation, discomfort, and inflammation.

What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?

  • Aging
  • Screen time and reduced blinking
  • Contact lens wear
  • Certain medications
  • Environmental factors (wind, air conditioning, smoke)
  • Underlying health conditions (e.g., autoimmune diseases)

How We Diagnose Dry Eye

We perform a detailed dry eye evaluation that includes:

  • Reviewing your symptoms and health history
  • Measuring tear quantity and quality
  • Examining the tear film and eyelids under magnification
  • Testing for inflammation or meibomian gland dysfunction

These tests allow us to pinpoint the root cause and create a treatment plan tailored to your eyes.
