Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name The Eye Physicians of Pinellas, PA and registered Lakeland Eye Clinic as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. The entry was last refreshed in November 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 121 of 532 records were updated in 2024 or later and 262 predate 2020.
For local context: Largo holds 21 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 14 of them optometry and 7 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 33770. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Douglas Johnson, OD, PA in Largo, 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 Florida 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 Lakeland Eye Clinic. Based on this site's own price research, an ophthalmology practice typically charges $150 to $300 or more for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
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 377 optometry practices on the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater page if you only need a prescription.
