Eye Disease Management in Lee's Summit

Whether you have glaucoma, macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, or other eye diseases — we can help.

At CustomEyes - Lee's Summit, we provide comprehensive eye exams, diagnostic screening and cutting-edge treatments that can slow eye disease progression and help maintain your vision.

• Comprehensive eye exam

  Comprehensive eye exams are critical in catching sight-robbing eye diseases that typically don't show early symptoms.

• Diagnostic screening

  Certain changes in your eyes can indicate eye conditions. Our optometrists can diagnose the disease and determine the cause of these changes.

• Treatments and surgeries

  We provide a wide range of treatments, including prescription eye drops and other medication. If needed, we'll refer you to the right doctor for eye surgery.

• After care and follow-up

  We provide follow-up exams and after-care treatments to help you manage your symptoms and safeguard your vision.

• Diabetic Retinopathy

  If you have diabetes, you should be aware of the risk of diabetic retinopathy. Elevated blood sugar can cause blood vessels in the eye to become inflamed or swell. In the early stages, you may not notice symptoms, but advanced diabetic retinopathy can cause blurred vision or eye inflammation.

  Diabetic retinopathy treatment includes:

  • Prescription medication
  • Laser surgeries
  • Anti-VEGF and steroid injections
  • Vitrectomy

• Glaucoma

  Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness and often doesn't show early symptoms. High pressure inside the eye causes glaucoma, and the purpose of glaucoma management is to reduce intraocular pressure.

  Glaucoma treatments include:

  • Prescription eye drops or medications
  • Laser procedures
  • Filtration surgery
  • Drainage tubes
  • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)

• Cataracts

  Cataracts are cloudy formations on the eye lens. They can make your vision blurry and distorted. To restore normal vision, an optometrist will recommend cataract surgery, which involves replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial intraocular lens.

• Macular Degeneration

  Macular degeneration, or AMD, occurs when the macula or the central part of the retina deteriorates. This results in blurred and distorted vision.

  There are two types of AMD: Dry AMD and Wet AMD.

  Although there isn't a treatment for dry AMD, lifestyle changes and specific supplements can help prevent further vision deterioration.

  Wet AMD treatments include:

  • Photodynamic therapy
  • Anti-VEGF injections
  • Laser photocoagulation
