Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Shari, Ltd and registered The Eye Doctors Vision Correction Center as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was last refreshed in July 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 5 of 30 records were updated in 2024 or later and 11 predate 2020.
For local context: Columbus holds 25 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 15 of them optometry and 10 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 31901. 11 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is The Eye Dr's, LLC in Columbus, 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 Georgia 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 The Eye Doctors Vision Correction Center. 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 20 optometry practices on the Columbus page if you only need a prescription.
