Reclaim Vision Comfort and Clarity

Many people struggle with dry eye symptoms that hinder them from reaching their full potential. Don’t let dry eyes prevent you from seeing clearly and comfortably.

Dry eye symptoms can be more than just a minor inconvenience. They can impact your daily life, making it difficult to focus on work, enjoy your favorite activities, or simply relax. Imagine constantly battling the sensation of dryness, grittiness, or irritation in your eyes or dealing with redness and discomfort that affects your confidence.

Why Choose Dry Eye Treatment?

Even daily activities like reading or using digital screens can become a challenge when your vision is blurred or your eyes are overly sensitive to light.

The constant discomfort and distraction caused by these symptoms can lower your productivity and overall quality of life. That said, there's hope! Tailored dry eye treatment can bring swift and long-lasting relief, improving your eye health and quality of life.


Exploring Dry Eye Treatments:

Finding the most suitable treatment for dry eyes is essential for lasting relief and optimal eye health. Let's explore a few effective options to help you regain comfort and clarity in your vision.

  • Comfort and Clarity with Specialized Contact Lenses

    Contact lenses have emerged as a popular choice for dry eye sufferers. Specifically designed soft contact lenses can help maintain a stable tear film, reducing friction between the eyelids and the cornea.

    Contact lenses for dry eyes retain moisture and provide ongoing hydration, offering comfort and improving vision. They are a convenient option that can significantly alleviate dry eye symptoms.

  • Instant Relief with Lubricating Eye Drops

    One of the most straightforward and accessible solutions for dry eye is using artificial tears and lubricating eye drops, available over the counter. Adding moisture to the eyes, these products offer temporary relief and comfort whenever needed.

    In severe cases, prescription atropine eye drops may be recommended by an eye doctor to provide targeted relief for your dry eye condition.

  • Non-Invasive IPL Therapy for Chronic Dry Eyes

    Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is another effective solution for chronic dry eyes. This non-invasive procedure uses precisely calibrated light pulses to target and reduce inflammation and eliminate demodex in and around the meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for producing the oil layer of the tear film. IPL therapy can improve the quantity and quality of tears, offering long-term relief. IPL therapy is an appealing option for those seeking a non-surgical approach.

  • Innovative Radiofrequency Treatment for Lasting Relief

    Radiofrequency treatment is another cutting-edge option for effectively managing dry eyes. This procedure involves the application of radiofrequency energy to the meibomian glands, stimulating oil production and enhancing tear stability.

    Radiofrequency treatment offers lasting relief from dry eye symptoms and can significantly improve overall eye comfort. Radiofrequency treatment is worth exploring for individuals seeking a non-invasive and sustainable solution.

Update: The customer service response has been incredible. The team at CustomEyes almost immediately... saw this review and made a dedicated effort to reach out and resolve. I would like to give a special shoutout to Dr. Aaron Cheng who has guided this process from the beginning. He was dedicated to finding resolution and consistently updated me on their progress. I am updating my review from 2 stars to 5 because of the power of impeccable customer care. Thank you to everyone at CustomEyes for working towards a solution. I am sincerely grateful and we will continue to be loyal customers. ————————— I have been a customer of CustomEyes - Lee’s Summit for over two years and have LOVED having Dr. Ali as my doctor. However, I will no longer be a customer due to issues with their admin staff. I scheduled an appointment for floaters via their online schedule system for a Saturday date. However, their staff called me and informed me that my appointment reasoning was rather urgent and they’d like to see me the next day. When I arrived to my appointment, I was informed that my insurance was showing up as inactive in their system. It’s the same insurance I used for my annual visit earlier in the year and it was not a new card. I called my insurance provider and they confirmed my coverage was active with no termination date. The agent spoke to the front desk admin on speakerphone and was tersely told that it does not matter what my coverage is, if it shows up as inactive in their system there is nothing she can do. I was at a complete loss. Upset that the front desk admin would offer no help knowing that my insurance is active, knowing that they are in-network because it was used earlier in the year, and knowing that the day before my appointment they ran my insurance and it showed inactive (she told me as much) - yet they didn’t call to inform me ahead of time. I was told I could keep the appointment and pay out of pocket, but it could be $100-$300 and I would have to appeal to my insurance to see if they would reimburse me. I left the office in tears because I’d been given the impression that my reason for the appointment was urgent and could require immediate action and I was barred from answers because of an admin issue. I was given little support and no forewarning that when I showed up, the admin staff was well aware I had a flag on my insurance by their system and may be required to pay out of pocket. It felt like a bait and switch and betrayal of customer confidence. They are losing not only my business, but my husband’s as well due to this negligence. I’ll miss Dr. Ali so much, and hope that she somehow sees this review and raises important questions internally as to why her patient was not offered greater support and why their system suddenly failed to accept insurance where there was never a previous issue.

I’ve been a patient here for several years. I love the fact that they work with you to maximize yo... ur insurance benefits. Both DrDrake & DrDrake are amazing. I’m in the medical field as well & I’m not easily impressed. I’ve had nothing but good experiences here! I highly recommend them!

CustomEyes has the best opticians and the best selection of contacts/glasses available and “in sty... le”. I’m always pleased with my visits, the doctors are always fast, friendly and very helpful. They got newer inventory for glasses such as Tiffany and co, Gucci and more. The girls who help with purchasing glasses and contacts are always super friendly/helpful as well and explain everything such as insurance/and lenses options greatly. Definitely happy with my new Tiffany and co prescription glasses! I can’t wait to pick them up.

Absolutely the best staff and crew, companionate, attentive, empathetic. These guys were very profes... sional, they didn’t treat me any differently than anyone else. The other offices I visited definitely did not exhibit or display that same love. Very grateful for Dr. Drake and his team. Absolutely the best

I am from Colorado, and in Missouri taking care of my elderly parents. I had an emergency in January... and on a Saturday. I called CustomEyes, they were one of the very few clinics open on a Saturday. They were very friendly, and able to squeeze me into the schedule. I found myself staying in Missouri, and possibly relocating here. I've been due for an eye exam, so I gave CustomEyes a call because I was so impressed and comfortable at my original appointment. I saw Dr. A. Genilo, both times and everyone, from her, check in, techs, optical, and check out, was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. I feel very comfortable saying, I have found my new eye care clinic and will definitely return. Thank you to everyone at CustomEyes!

She made my daughter comfortable and fun with the different props she had.. I was so pleased with Custom Eyes I made me and my husband a eye appointment.. Don't hesitate call today!

The doctor and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It's one of the cleanest places I've been ... to. Everyone was masked and washed hands before touching anyone. I felt very safe. The exam was thorough and I didn't feel rushed to choose new frames. They went out of their way checking my insurance and making sure I got the best price. I actually paid half here what I paid at the "discount" place.
