Most people will require help with their eyesight at some stage in their lives, especially as they get older. Advanced eye care is necessary for good eye health because of the numerous eye conditions and problems that can occur as people age. Nearsighted: Known as myopia, which means you can see clearly close up but may find that distance objects are blurred.
Overland Park Eye Center is a family optometrist that offers thorough examinations for youth that are pre-school age and older (i.e. 3 years old and up). Our vision screenings help ensure and support healthy vision as your child grows and develops. Don't let poor vision go undetected and impede the healthy development of your child.
When people think of cataracts they often imagine a white, milky film that grows on their eyes. However, cataracts do not form on the eye, rather they form within the eye. More specifically, a cataract is a clouding of the lens, the part of the eye that focuses light and produces clear, sharp images.

I have enjoyed Overland Park Eye Center for many years. The doctors and staff are always so pleasant and the facility is well kept and convenient.
I started seeing Dr. Pierce when I was really struggling with my vision and had a bad experience somewhere else. She made me feel very comfortable and really helped me find a great solution.

Been to both doctors at this practice. They are both very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful! Staff is great as well. Fees are reasonable for high quality professional services. Just saw Dr. Joe today. He was helpful in tweaking prescription for contacts. Vision better than ever. Highly recommend this practice. They genuinely care about your eye health.

2 years ago I got my exam and purchased my glasses here and the experience was fine. Fast forward to 2021 (MAY) they have young kids doing the pre exam portion and assisting with glasses. They also charge $99 for an exam which Is ridiculously expensive and I didn't even opt in for a x ray! They told me 10-15 business days to receive my glasses. I called on the 9th business day, the 14th business day, and the 15th business day. The never followed up, called, or even left me a message to tell me when my glasses arrived. I had my wife go pick them up on the 16th business day. Very unprofessional and

It sounds like Melissa was having a bad day that day. I have been going here to get my eyes checked for years and Jamie has always been super polite. Everyone else that works there has also been very polite as well. Karen, you quoted Jamie saying, “Pop out the contacts in your eyes.” Not sure how you find that rude in any way. I think you’re just entitled. I’m offended by your comment because it is simply not true. Guys, don’t let one grumpy girls review have an impact on you. Keep doing what your doing! I won’t go anywhere else.

Dr. Pierce saved my daughter's vision. My daughter went to an eye doctor with her mom in Lincoln where she lived at the time. That "doctor" said nothing was wrong with her vision but my daughter complained of not being able to see well when she visited me. Low and behold one of her eyes was so bad that her brain was starting to ignore it and the eye was going lazy! How could a "doctor" have missed that?! If it weren't for Dr. Pierce my daughter would have a lazy eye for life and basically mono-vision. Dr. Pierce is so gentle, kind and warm that she's a pleasure to talk to. She's easy for kids to

Worst customer service from the STORE MANAGER Jamie Vaughn. Everyone else is great except her. I went in to get my yearly check up. Once it came down to paying, I had concerns about the total and then I asked the young lady that was helping me to take out the contact prescription because I didn’t need it. The store manager then gets into the conversation and told me to give her the try-out boxes and then told me and I quote “POP OUT THE CONTACTS IN YOUR EYES.” I personally thought it was super rude, especially coming from a store manager. I understand giving her the boxes was required, which

Last week I went into my yearly checkup and had to meet with with Dr. Joe instead of my usual one. Never have I had just a wonderful customer experience. Dr. Joe was the most thorough, and helpful optometrist I have ever experience since I started wearing glasses 35 some years ago. If you want a professional and kinda environment see Dr. Joe at Overland Park Eye Center!

I experienced an amazing staff who were more than willing to help me out. Even the facility was clean and it was a delightful atmosphere. Dr. Joe did a wonderful job with helping me understand more about my issues with dry eyes. I truly had a great experience. There is no other place that I would rather go to.

These people are terrific! Dr. Joe has a great sense of humor and has taken great lengths to help fit me for contacts with astigmatism, and presbyopia. They have provided several pairs of lenses for me to try over an extended period, as well as different samples of saline, and other contact cleaners. The staff is extremely gracious and helpful. I couldn't recommend this place more!
