Overview
Dr. Ayaat Alakashi practises at the Riverside office on Riverside Avenue in Jacksonville, close to Five Points and the Brooklyn district. She sees adults and children for comprehensive eye examinations, glasses and contact lenses, and for the eye problems that come up between annual visits.
Her examinations are built so that the medical half is never squeezed out by the glasses half. Sight and prescription, how the two eyes work together, the lids, lashes and tear film under the microscope, eye pressure, and then the retina and optic nerve examined and photographed so next year’s visit has something to compare against.
Patients book with her for first glasses and first contact lenses, for the near vision that starts to slip in the forties, for eyes that sting, water and blur after a screen-heavy day, for yearly diabetic retinal checks, and for the urgent list: red eyes, scratches, infections, something blown into the eye, and new floaters or flashes that need ruling out.
Her licence is verified against the Florida Board of Optometry register. Vision and medical plan cover differs by policy, so call the Riverside Avenue office to confirm yours before booking.

Questions Patients Ask
How do I book an eye exam with Dr. Alakashi?
Call the Riverside office in Jacksonville, Florida on 904-356-7101 to book an eye exam or a contact lens appointment. Ask for the first available slot with Dr. Alakashi by name, say whether the visit is a routine exam, a contact lens fitting or an eye problem, and have your vision or medical plan details to hand so cover can be checked before you arrive.
What should I bring to my first visit with Dr. Alakashi?
Bring photo ID and your vision and medical insurance cards, your current glasses and the boxes or prescription for your contact lenses, a list of every medicine and eye drop you use, and any previous eye records or retinal scans. Mention diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or a family history of glaucoma, because these change what gets examined. Your pupils may be dilated, which leaves vision blurry and light sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan for someone else to drive if you are unsure.
