My annual appointments are professional and always executed in a timely manner. I came in once (not scheduled) for professional advice about a reoccurring stye I kept getting in the same spot, and advanced eye care took me right in. I was given a price friendly eye lid cleanser to help with my stye, as well as info on where I can buy the wash + drops if I run out and cannot make it back in to get more. Ever since I started using the eyelid spray, I've not had any styes since! Before nothing was working: hot compress, wearing glasses only with no eye makeup, eye drops, etc, I tried all the self help ways I could google and nothing worked. As a dry eye, contact wearing patient, I'm always looking for helpful ways in which I can get relief. Advanced eye care always takes great care of me, and the entire staff is such a pleasure to visit with each time.

Dr. Ellen Rogers Wagner is my eye doctor and provides excellent, quality care of my vision. Ellen…read moreis very professional, personable, and a friend who I trust with my eyesight and have been coming to Riverside for umpteen years and still will as long as Ellen is still practicing. I got some cool looking SHAQ distance eyeglasses and a nice pair of reading eyeglasses including good solid cases to protect them. In addition, I got the low-cost insurance for both pair of eyeglasses as it is peace of mind. A couple of times I needed some serious frames adjustments and new nose pieces that turned green. Insurance covered everything. The folks in the eyeglass area sure helped me a lot especially with feedback on the eyeglasses! And the preliminary eye screening before Ellen was superb, too! I hope the pictures on the wall in the waiting area and the fish aquarium return because they gave me (TOJ) Tingles of Joy seeing people with their pets and beautiful, brightly colored fish swimming. Completely Satisfied. No issues or barriers. Thank you, MyEyeDr.

My 8-year-old daughter had an emergency after my toddler accidentally poked her in the eye and…read moreended up scratching her cornea pretty badly (we only found out later). She was screaming and panicking. She's normally a very calm child, so when she reacts like that, I know it's serious. Long story long, since this office was very close by, I rushed over because in an eye emergency, an actual eye doctor--with the proper tools and machines--is much more effective than a general ER. By the time I got there, it had been almost 30 minutes and she still couldn't open her eye or see, so I rushed inside. They were closing in 5 minutes, which I understood, but the very first thing the receptionist said was, "We're closing." I quickly explained that my daughter was crying in the car, couldn't open her eye at all, and I was extremely worried something serious had happened. I told her I was willing to pay anything for a quick consult. She politely said she would check with the doctor. She came back shortly after and said the doctor was set to leave soon, and couldn't see us since they were closing, that we should go to the hospital. I completely understand having closing hours, but when you're a specialist, and you hear that a child has an injury directly related to your field, you would expect at minimum a brief look, a quick assessment, or even some reassurance. Instead, they didn't even step out to see my child or offer guidance. They simply didn't care. For a practice that presents itself as a medical office, refusing to even glance at a pediatric eye emergency is incredibly disappointing. It's like a lifeguard who's off duty--seeing someone struggling in the water--and choosing to walk away. Of course you can do it, but is it the right thing to do? Even if you can't perform a full evaluation, basic human and professional duty would tell you to at least check if the situation is dangerous. I would never spend my money here with doctors that could care less under an emergency. I would not recommend them to anyone either. Maybe in the future the can do better. We did go to the hospital, they rushed us in, and then we followed up with a caring clinic (ponte vedra eye associates) the next day with a specialist that didn't even see kids but still saw her (God bless her) as the pediatric specialist downtown only had availability in a few days.

For starters, Vue Optical describes itself as a boutique eyeglass shop with independent designer…read moreframes. That's a bait & switch. Few top designer lines, and those they list on their website - like SALT. - they have in barely a handful of styles. They also use some funky lab, and first filled my RX (from an ophthalmology office in town ranked on the "Top Doctor" annual list) - without my approval, I'm all about brands - with some no-name label that was awful. Vue said they couldn't offer Zeiss lenses, the very best. And then when we agreed to try Hoya (or was that Shamir?), it was done by the same lab! With the $1k "office" progressive eyeglasses I bought from them last year, I should be able to see clearly from 12 inches to about 20 feet. Make that 8 ft, barely. And I get headaches and sleepy trying to read closeup for more than 30 minutes. Plus, super frustrating on top of that, the AR anti-reflective coating is obviously of such cheap quality that it's almost impossible to get rid of the smudges - even with those special eyeglass cloth wipes or washing with dishwasher soap. The shop is pretty, and the 2 saleswomen are lovely. The woman who sold me the frames and lenses sent my eyeglasses back to the lab 2x to "fix" them. I accepted them finally because it was embarrassing, and despite her politeness and seeming patience, I felt like a nuisance and flake. I greatly regret not being more assertive and demanding a refund. I'm 67, and have worn progressive eyeglasses 30+ years. I've bought in my former towns - NYC, Philly, SF, LA. And I've never ever ever had a problem, much less this maddening experience. Ok, I've got to stop. I'm getting sleepy from typing close-up. I'm giving 2 stars for the pretty shop and nice saleswomen. And I don't like to totally slam a business. But I'm certainly not coming back here.

Then came the eyedrops where she touched my eyeballs with the dropper and forced my neck back ignoring the metal plate on my neck. That's when I made my escape.

Love the history of this practice. I applied for a position on indeed. The manager Nicole messaged…read moreme about setting up an interview and I replied back. But never heard back for about 2 weeks. Then Summer replied to set up a phone call interview, no time frame for the phone interview was scheduled. I gave her my availability for her to pick a day and time she would like to do the phone interview she called me and I missed the call. I immediately called her back and was sent to her voicemail. The next day I messaged her on indeed stating I returned her call and let her a message, no answer for several days. So I came into the office to introduce myself since there was a bit of back and forth and waiting for a reply. I waiting 30 mins before Summer came to speak with me. Now for the interesting part..... I'll tell you. I have never in my life had such an unprofessional interview in my life!!! First of all Summer didn't introduce herself. I was told to come into her office and sit, no eye contact or anything she looked over my resume. And asked about why I left a previous employer and stated I have been to a lot of eye practices, stating that when she sees an applicant that has been to that many offices she assumes that they are a "the problem." I corrected her stating that several of the eye doctors offices were internships from when I was in College for my A.S degree as an Ophthalmic Technician at FSCJ. I informed her that I only worked at 2 Doctors offices and the latest one merged with another practice. Then the interview made a weird turn of her cussing at me and talking about how she does not tolerate drama, and went over the attendance policy. Her words "if you do not have PTO you cannot take off." " I don't tolerate the petty shit. I had taken a long time to get the office to have a certain culture and I'm not going to ruin that on someone like that." She even called her own manager a "bitch" which was super unprofessional. And talked about how her current manager above her doesn't do much and how she has so many responsibilities in her position. Summer also asked me about a former employee I worked with at my former employers office wanting to know why they were terminated and if he's a good employee. Again very unprofessional. And the interview is pertaining to myself not someone else! I felt like I was being scolded by my mother. I have never been cussed out and scolded in an interview or accused to being a job hopper or a problem! I understand every office has an attendance policy and what is not tolerated. But to be scolded and cussed at as if I did something wrong. Yeah no thanks! I've meet many of Coastal visions previous employees that left because of management, and I can see exactly why! Not the kind of place I would want to work at or my friends or family go to.
