The staff at this location is friendly and professional. I actually forgot about my appointment and they called to remind me which I absolutely appreciate! It's a busy office so the efficiency of their employees and the top care given to the patients is very refreshing. I sat down with the coordinator to discuss a retinal attachment with my brother and she took the time to explain the process and approvals the doctor would need prior to the actual surgery. In addition, she had all of the necessary forms and instructions in a packet to give to me to make the process easier. My experiences at this location as well as their location in Fleming Island have been nothing short of exceptional. Easy parking, too! read more

MY THREE STARS IS FOR THE STAFF OF THIS OFFICE-THEY ARE TOP NOTCH: I've really searched within my soul before considering this review. After the last 3 appointments with Dr Islam, I strongly believe my review is warranted. I have been seeing Dr Islam for just over a year and a half. After just having being diagnosed with my eye condition, I started my appts with this Dr. After the first eye drop Rx not being completely successful, she suggested an eye drop that could possibly change my eye color dark. I asked if there were alternative drops that wouldn't do this......there was. Why, would the first one be suggested then?? Why? So, it's been a few series of visits, and each one has its own story but EACH AND EVERY appointment she mentions laser surgery. WHY, if my eye drops are working, would I consider having laser eye surgery?? To go down from 2 eye drops rx's to one?? That is not enough reason & there is no guarantee that the laser surgery would work, as in the case of my very dear friend. When I ask questions, she has a smile but her responses are incredibly smug. She throws me off with her smugness, because she does it with a smile, but she is absolutely smug, and condescending, with her replies. I'm really losing my confidence with her. This is the condensed version, but she has no problems setting up frequent & follow up appointments when a problem has resolved. I advised that I cannot come every week, but I will call if I have a continued problem, due to co-pays. The Dr, I'm sure did not even realize she LITERALLY shrugged her shoulders when I said that. Like, that is not her concern (high co pays). Well, I saved myself another copay by letting her know that if I have any additional issues, I will make an appointment. Did I really need to go back every week for an entire month? I have to leave from my appointments feeling like there is a piece missing to this puzzle. I'm sure I will never get the entire picture, but I will try 1 more appointment and see if I can start to have renewed confidence in this Dr. If not, I will change Dr's or change facilities. I need to feel confident with whom is providing me treatment. Right now, it's really slim. read more

Love my doctors and staff here. I've been to three of their locations based upon convenience for me and the service I need. The way they schedule is based on service need so some days they mostly do surgery, etc. I think this makes them so efficient. I have never waited than a few minutes. read more

My boyfriend being seen here. I noted that sign in optical. But ladies do not check list. And we waited for ever. They sat there talking in Spanish. And did not address the sign in sheet. Why have it. ? Rest staff was fine. Who want buy glasses if this happens read more

Dr Downer and staff are awesome. They are so helpful and explain what they are doing.

I had a negative experience with a staff member who rolled her eyes when I didn't want to check my eye pressure when I was there for a completely unrelated medical issue and did not need to have my eyes checked. I also felt that Dr. Islam was condescending in her manner when speaking to me during the visit. When I came to pick up my prescription, I would have to pay almost $200 dollars on top of insurance for a treatment of a stye. The visit was a complete waste of time, I could have gotten better treatment going to urgi care. read more

Dr Donald Downer and the staff at Clay Eye are amazing. Dr. Downer performed my cataract surgery 10 years ago. I went from a prescription of -21 and -20 ( yes I was legally blind from birth) to now only needing a correction of 1.25. This is nothing short of a miracle to me. My IOL's are perfect. Dr. Downer has recently been helping with a suture issue from another surgeon. ( I made a mistake a used a different surgeon from another practice (strabismus surgery). Over the past year, Dr. Downer has brought relief from the pain of Mersiline sutures used by another surgeon. He is the most caring surgeon I have ever met. I highly recommend this talented and personable surgeon. read more

Had a Great experience today at Clay Eye 11740 San Jose blvd, the service and courtesy was above reproach, the staff made me feel like the most important person in the world and the knowledge and attention to detail by doctor Jericho Sayoc was mind blowing. I have found my 4Ever eyecare center. Thanks Clay Eye Physicians & Surgeons. Barry L. Townsend read more

I've been using Clay Eye for several years and between my fiancée and I, we have been to several locations. In Jan of 2023 I kept my eye appointment at their Fleming Island location. After the usual exam I went to the checkout where I was quoted a much higher charge than normal. I asked for an itemized bill to show what I was being billed for specifically and was told they no longer could provide the itemized bill because they did not know how much was going to be charged and what my insurance will cover. Apparently, they've changed billing providers and gone to the "surprise billing" method. Months later, I received a bill from them requesting another $25 and change. Go someplace where your insurance will be looked at ahead of time so you do not end up with charges you have no way of disputing at the time of service. read more

Every time I come in all of their staff are so welcoming and accommodative. I came in several weeks ago with a pretty severe eye infection, Dr. Downer was able to put me on a reasonable regimen and talk me through all the questions I had! Thank you guys so much, 10/10 medical team. read more

The only thing stopping me from a 5 star is the price for them to fit you with contacts. Other than that they are great. The support staff is courteous and ready to help you of you need it. The office is very neat and tidy. There's a new doctor that's not bad too look at either. I was in and out fairly quickly. Would've been sooner if I didn't need my eyes dialated. I hate that part. Gives me a migraine everytime. Make your appointment today! read more

Clay Eye Physicians & Surgeons - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Called to schedule an appointment. I told the receptionist I needed to schedule an appointment for a pediatric patient. At that time I did not have the insurance card available. I was told to relax and call back once I had the insurance information, not even giving me the option to pay cash or simply provide the insurance information before the appointment. Needless to say I won't be scheduling appointments in the future with Clay Eye. read more

The only reason I go to Clay Eye Clinic is because of Dr Jack Donovan. They are all friendly, precise and thorough

DO NOT SEE DR MELANIE JAVIER-- ZERO PEOPLE SKILLS- I think she really doesn't like seniors, very inconsiderate the way she treated my 80 yo mother. You cannot ask her a question and definitely don't ask her for any special help. We are not going to Clay Eye because Dr Javier is obviously all about cashing a check and punching a time clock. read more

I went through a whole appointment of 2 1/2 hours before they told me I would have to pay a lot of money upfront because of my insurances. These are things that should be shared upfront with patients. read more

I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes performed by Dr. Yasmin Islam. The experience was phenomenal from my first visit through the surgery. The knowledge, professionalism and care from Dr. Islam and her entire staff went well and far beyond what I had expected. I would do it all over again and I will highly recommend Dr. Islam to anyone who needs this type of surgery or anything else that pertains to the eyes. I call her my "miracle worker " and thank her very much for taking care of me. Clay Eye is very lucky to have Dr. Islam as a part of their staff. Joyce Gatlin read more

I hate to give bad reviews but I also hate horrible customer service. This review is for the Optical Shop part of Clay Eye. They don't listen to what you're needs are and sell you what they want to sell you. Than after they take Full payment for your glasses they don't call you when they come in. On top of that if a mistake was made you have to wait another 2 weeks for them to fix their mistake, but they blame it on the Lab. Remember you have choices. read more

Great job and friendly. They got me in and out in a timely manner. I was able to get an appointment that was convenient for me. Over all experience was great. read more

This is a wonderful facility that not only caters to military active duty as well as retirees but their dependents. I am upset that they have been taken off the list for providers for the military. Something happened when they did the merge.... I would ENCOURAGE everyone who is interested in keeping them as their provider to call them at (904) 272-2020 and ask what they are doing to get back on the list with TRICARE. Also to call Tricare East and ask them why this facility was removed!!!! There is a grievance that can be filled out and sent to: TRICARE EAST Region Claims Appeals PO Box# 202002 Florence SC 29502-2002 or Humana Military Second level review/Clinical appeals PO Box# 740044 Louisville, KY 40201-9973 I hope everyone makes the effort to put them back on the list. Make the call, write the appeal!! read more

Staff is extremely professional and appointments are made quickly, however when you arrive you are shuffled around from room to room for two hours or more before seeing the doctor. It is quite crowded and seems to be a very rushed practice, leaving no time for any questions or concerns. read more

I do not recommend. These people only wanted to sell me $6 million man type cataract replacement lens which I had no need for. They did not seem to understand my needs. I went to Levenson eye Associates instead and had a great experience read more

I bruised my eye in a freak shower bump from a shampoo bottle on a Friday. As it remained blood-red on Monday I went in on Monday 8am and was seen in less than 15 minutes without appointment and received excellent diagnosis. I've gone to this clinic for two decades, have had two lens implants and excellent annual follow ups. Yes, at times the wait has been a little long but I always bring good reading. And no Dr. ever promoted glasses I didn't need. read more

I developed cataracts in my right eye seemingly overnight back in January. After a few months of procrastination, I got a referral to see one of the doctors here. A lens replacement was suggested and I made that appointment. Took only 20 minutes and now I have 20/20 vision. No pain and uncomplicated. read more
