Reading this record
Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Ophthalmology, Cornea and External Diseases Specialist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. 7 locations nationally are registered under the same name, so pricing and policies are likely to be set at group level rather than at this office. The entry was last refreshed in November 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 325 of 1,876 records were updated in 2024 or later and 1,079 predate 2020.
For local context: Torrance holds 60 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 39 of them optometry and 21 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 90505. 20 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Awaken Your Eyes Oculoplastic Surgery in Torrance, 0.0 miles away.
None of this is a licensing check. CMS issues an NPI so a provider can be identified in billing transactions, and states plainly that issuance does not ensure or validate that the holder is licensed or credentialed. The California boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

What to expect to pay at an ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from East-West Eye Institute A Medical Corporation, and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $150 to $300 or more at this kind of practice without insurance, which is a reported band rather than a published price. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one (30 September 2026), and Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). Ask East-West Eye Institute A Medical Corporation for its self-pay price.
Ophthalmology visits are usually medical rather than routine, which changes who pays: medical insurance and Medicare Part B cover a medically necessary exam, while a routine refraction for glasses is normally not covered. Ask whether the visit will be billed as medical or routine before you book, and compare with the 1,249 optometry practices on the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim page if you only need a prescription.
