Eye Care Services in Lee’s Summit
Between eye exams, disease management, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and emergency eye care, our Lee’s Summit optometrists are proud to provide a wide array of expert, individualized eye care services.

Comprehensive Eye Exams
Regardless of your age, it’s important to keep up with your eye health and changing vision to catch any issues before they impact your eyesight. We use some of the most advanced diagnostic and imaging equipment to identify signs of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy as early as possible. Our comprehensive eye exams offer more than a new vision prescription — we’ll explore your medical history, look at your eyes from every angle, and walk you through your options for treatment if needed.

Pediatric Eye Exams
We also specialize in pediatric eye exams, and offer free screenings to identify eye conditions more common in children. We’ll track their fluctuating vision, which can have a major impact on their school life. We’re experienced with kids and use medical tools designed to keep them comfortable, which means parents love what we do, and kids love to see us!


Disease Management
Many eye diseases and conditions don’t have noticeable symptoms until it’s too late. The negative impacts of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy likely won’t be apparent until they obstruct or warp your vision in ways that can’t be undone.
That’s why we don’t stop at simply diagnosing these serious eye conditions: our optometrists are experts in eye disease management, and can help you create an effective treatment plan.

Eyeglasses & Contact Lenses
At Eyecare Specialties, we offer one of the most impressive eyewear collections in the region, let alone in Lee’s Summit. Our frames aren’t just fashionable, they’re affordable, and our opticians can help you try on and choose the eyeglasses that look great on you.
We also offer disposable, monofocal, bifocal/multifocal, and toric contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson, Bausch & Lomb, Cooper Vision, and Alcon. If you have a medical or personal preference for contacts, we’ll make sure they help you see clearly and comfortably.
