Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your St. Augustine eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

Dr. Greene and his staff are always kind, professional, and compassionate. They provide not only exc... ellent care but also customer service. Sadly, something that is becoming harder and harder to find BUT not at their office!

The frames of my glasses were damaged beyond repair. Matt was extremely helpful finding another fra... me that the lens' would fit in. Friendly, professional, prompt. I highly recommend.

I called here because I was on desperate need of a pair of glasses that I lost in the ocean. We were... leaving the next day so I needed them same day. I called at 1:15pm and had glasses by 3:20pm!!! The staff was so nice and helpful. Michelle helped me pick out a pair of frames that I loved. Matt helped me get them adjusted to my face. While I was there I witnessed how welcoming and kind they were to every person that walked in there. I was an online buyer and this place has made me realize that brick and mortar has a leg up on the online shops!

Dr Green, Matt and their staff are amazing. They provide such excellent care that after moving to th... e Gulf Coast, I make the 6 hour drive just to receive eye care from them. You will not be disappointed with them.

There are still genuinely good people in this world! I’m from pittsburgh, on my way to st Augustin... e I broke my eyeglasses, I went here to see Matt, he repaired them in less than 5 minutes, would not accept any payment, gave me the option to make a donation to the jar on the counter for a worthy cause! I actually felt bad that I could not pay for his service, I can’t describe how relieved I am knowing that I don’t have to drive back to pittsburgh without glasses. What a wonderful service they provide in a world that is full of disappointments, I highly recommend this business for all your eyeglass needs!

I inadvertently stepped on my wife's glasses while on vacation in St. Augustine. We went to Anastas... ia Eye Associates the next morning and the optician fixed them perfectly within 15 minutes. I, of course, offered to pay, but he told me to put money in a jar for a local charity instead. If I lived here, this is the business I would go to for my eye glass purchases and servicing.

Awesome all the way around...

Great experience getting the Sun Glasses I wanted. Made the drive down from Ponte Vedra special for... their selection in eye-ware. Great selection, prices and service.

Excellent service from courteous professionals. Thank you for caring.
- Feb. 18, 2022
I had such positive experience here! Matt was personable, empathetic and honest. The entire time we... were there, he was attentive, patient and explained everything to us. I didn't feel like a number and felt like I could trust him. This is not a place that is trying to "take you for everything you've got". From the moment I walked in, I could tell that they genuinely care. Thank you for such a great experience...we will be back =)

My Wife cracked her frame, we are from out of country. Matt Lee (Optical Mgr.) managed to find and f... it her prescription lenses into new frames. Excellent service above and beyond our expectations......Thankyou Anastasia Eye Associates

My eyes are important to me and choosing the best eye care is also just as important. That's why I ... chose Anastasia Eye Associates. Dr Green has been in practice for over 35 years with the latest equipment available. He is very thorough and meticulous. When it came time to chose frames, Matt Lee was great. I explained to him the type of look I wanted and he had me try on different frames until we found EXACTLY what I was looking for. Matt truly is an expert at this , after all he's been fitting faces and frames for about 30 years. He even had my new glasses sooner than I expected. Great place. Great staff. Special thanks to Dr Green , Matt, Michele, and Katie

Our family has been using Anastasia Eye for over a decade. They are professional, courteous, and we ... know them as friends in our island community. Matt Lee and the staff handle the office with a balance of precision, care, and quickness that assures minimal waiting and quality service. Keep up the good work Doctor Green!!

Stellar. Beyond expectations. Cutting-edge technology! I simply cannot say enough about Dr Greene, M... att, Brandon, Michelle, and Katie - EVERYONE is on their game at this office. The level of technology at Anastasia Eye Associates is unlike anything I’d ever seen, even when compared to a local ophthalmologist office I’ve visited. The systems are integrated to visually provide direct feedback to the patient moments after tests are run. The process was explained at every step, the results shared with me by Dr Greene, and I had reassurance that the instructions given were the right course of action. I’m one of those patients who researches and asks a lot of questions - they never made me feel awkward by asking questions about what’s going on. Quite the opposite, they see me as a partner in improving my overall visual health! Finally - I feel as though I have found that kind of caring expertise and access to superior diagnostic technology - right here in St Augustine! And I would urge anyone out there seeking eyewear to consult the knowledgeable and friendly Matt Lee. You will be able to have confidence that the measurements are taken correctly and the frames and lenses you choose will be properly fitted - they have their own lab on site - your frames and lenses are not sent away to a faraway bulk lab somewhere! Trust me, I’ve known folks locally that have had issues with glasses ordered over the internet. I would ask, “what’s it worth to you to get this right?” Remember - you’re not paying only for style and comfort - you’re looking for the expertise and training to be able to fit YOU with the correct prescription *in the correct way.* This is your eyesight, after all! Expertise isn’t free. There’s an old adage about that, except I would make it, “You don’t get what you don’t pay for.” As for me and my family’s health, I’d rather have the years of training and expertise right here in town! Give yourself the same peace of mind I now have - become a patient at Anastasia Eye Associates and get to know this wonderful, kind, highly-trained, and professional staff. I’m so glad I did! EDIT: ONCE AGAIN we are so impressed with the level of care provided - this time with my wife developing an eye infection. From diagnosis to referral, Dr Greene, Brandon, and the whole team made sure we were promptly seen through to health. Amazing people.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

A child’s first eye exam should take place at age 6 months. It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).
