Eye Doctors in Arizona: 874 Registered Practices
Where they are: Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler alone holds 613 of them, 70 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 77 percent of Arizona records, and 39 practices register a subspecialty such as retina, glaucoma or pediatric care as their primary code rather than the general code.
What an eye exam costs in Arizona
The registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting exam fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one on their own store pages (30 September 2026). For a national benchmark somebody does publish, Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). In Arizona, the 50 stores publishing a fee have a median of $85 and a range of $65 to $134: two practices in this state differ by more than Arizona differs from the national median.
The bigger lever is which of the 874 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 203 Arizona ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.

City names are the free-text values practices entered in the registry, so nearby suburbs sometimes appear under their own name rather than the main city. The metro pages group them properly.
Practices outside the metro pages
7 practices sit in small metro and micropolitan areas or in rural counties outside any Census metro area, so they are listed here rather than on a page of their own.

Retail optical brands registered in Arizona
Records whose legal or trading name contains the brand. Retail chains are the low end of the exam price range, so this is worth checking before you call an independent practice.
| Brand | Records in AZ | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| MyEyeDr | 28 | MyEyeDr exam prices |
| America's Best | 15 | America's Best exam prices |
| Visionworks | 14 | Visionworks exam prices |

Multi-site practice groups
Names registered at three or more separate Arizona locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
