Discover the Freedom and Convenience of Contact Lenses

  • Need bifocal or multifocal contacts?
  • Rigid gas permeable or soft lenses?
  • Disposables, dailies or colored contacts?

Contact lenses give wearers a full field of focused vision no matter where you look. Because they move with your eyes, contacts help allow you to track action with sharp and clear peripheral vision. Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

A contact lens exam will help us determine the perfect contact lens fit for your eyes and lifestyle!

What to Expect From Your Contact Lens Exam

  • Regular eye exam

    During your comprehensive eye exam your optometrist will check that your eyes are healthy and will test your vision to determine your contact lens prescription.

  • Contact lens consultation

    During your contact lens exam your optometrist will check for dry eye symptoms and consult with you to determine what type of contact lenses are the best fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.

  • Contact lens fitting

    For ideal vision correction and comfort, contact lenses must fit well. Your optometrist will examine the size and shape of your cornea and pupil to ensure the right fit.

  • Contact lens trial and follow-up

    Your optometrist will insert trial lenses and ask you to keep them on for 15-20 minutes to be sure the fit is comfortable and vision is clear. After a few days, you'll come in for a follow-up evaluation.

Where Can I Get a Contact Lens Exam?

The right contact lenses, carefully fitted and prescribed by your optometrist, can provide many benefits and prevent discomfort and eye disease.

Once you have determined the right contact lens, you can start enjoying the benefits and freedom of daily or regular contact lens wear.

We offer contact lens exams at our eye clinic and will help determine the best contact lenses for your needs and eye shape. Simply schedule your appointment by contacting Anastasia Eye Associates in St. Augustine today.

Dr Green is a wonderfully kind person. When I had a problem on a Saturday, he opened his office for ... me. Found it was serious and made arrangements for eye surgery the upcoming Monday. Can’t get that from Costco!!!! His staff is a projection of him.

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.
- Jul. 05, 2022
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!
- Jun. 09, 2022
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.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.
