What to Expect at Your Contact Lens Exam & Fitting in St. Augustine

  • Eye doctor consultation

    During your contact lens exam, your eye doctor will ask you about your medical history and discuss any lifestyle or health considerations you may have. Do you have astigmatism or dry eye syndrome? Seeking colored contact lenses? Are you over 40 and struggling to read small print in books and menus? No matter the issue, we'll make sure you get the perfect contacts for your needs.

  • Get your contact lenses fitted

    Poorly fitted contacts can cause blurry vision, discomfort and may even damage the cornea. To ensure you have the most comfortable fit possible, your eye doctor will take measurements and run tests to find the right contact lens for you.

  • Receive your trial pair of contact lenses

    Once your eye doctor has determined the optimal lenses for your needs and eyes, they will often offer you a trial pair. Once you’re satisfied with the comfort and clarity of vision these contacts provide, you can buy as many contact lenses as you need for ultimate comfort and clear vision.

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.

Contact Lens FAQs

Can children wear contact lenses?

Yes. Contact lenses can be an excellent vision correction option for children. There’s no specific age recommendation for children to start wearing contacts. Rather, parents should assess when their child is mature enough to properly care for them. Proper storage, cleaning and hygiene when inserting and taking out contact lenses are all essential for successful contact lens wear.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes. Toric lenses are a specific type of contact lens specially designed to address issues connected to astigmatism. In most cases, those with astigmatism can wear their choice of soft contact lenses, including monthly and daily disposables.

Are contact lenses comfortable?

Yes. Original hard contact lenses used to be quite difficult to adapt to. However, thanks to technological advancement, today's contacts are more breathable and comfortable than ever before. In most cases, soft contact lenses are easy to adapt to, even from the very start.

Why might daily disposable lenses be right for me?

Daily disposable lenses are a good choice for those who enjoy the convenience of throwing out used contacts each night, and inserting a new pair in the morning. This saves money, since there is no need for contact lens solution or a case to keep the lenses in. It also ensures that no debris has accumulated on the lenses overtime, since you insert a new one every day.

Why might monthly-wear contact lenses be right for me?

Monthly-wear lenses are great for those responsible enough to take good care of their lenses according to their eye doctor’s instructions. They tend to be made of sturdier material than daily-wear lenses, meaning they don’t tear as easily. The material also lets in more oxygen to the eye, preventing serious complications that can harm your long-term eye health. They are also more eco-friendly (think one lens per month vs. thirty) and are less expensive up-front.
