What an eye exam costs around Chico
No prices exist in the NPI registry, so treat the list below as a call sheet rather than a quote sheet. Nationally this site puts an eye exam at about $136 without insurance and around $25 with a vision plan.
No national retail optical brand is registered under its own name in this metro, so expect the independent optometry band of $120 to $200 rather than the $50 to $110 retail band. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250, and adding a contact lens fitting takes the visit to $150 to $370.

Phone numbers are the practice location numbers on the NPI record. They are self-reported, CMS does not verify them, and 15 of these records have not been updated since before 2020. An NPI does not mean the practice is licensed: that is a matter for the California licensing boards.
