Yes. Granted, it's a tough comparison; "The Drumhead" is a very well written and acted episode, one of Star Trek's best, and I think no matter what, "Eyes" would have had to come across as weaker - but as you said, the real weakness of "Eyes" is that it never lifts itself above "How dare you do this to me</>?!", while "Drumhead" is more concerned with "How did we come to this?"
