Eye Doctors in Iowa: 481 Registered Practices
The August 2026 CMS national provider file lists 481 eye care organizations across Iowa: 432 registered as optometry practices (90 percent) and 49 as ophthalmology practices. They sit in 147 cities and towns, led by West Des Moines (29), Des Moines (23), Cedar Rapids (22) and Sioux City (16). 22 metro areas have enough registered practices for a page of their own and hold 73 percent of the state's records; the remainder are listed below. 82 records were updated by the practice in 2024 or later and 298 have not been touched since before 2020.
Where they are: Des Moines-West Des Moines alone holds 115 of them, 24 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 90 percent of Iowa records, and 10 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 Iowa
The registry holds no prices. This site's price research puts a US eye exam at about $136 without insurance and around $25 with a vision plan. Reported state averages run from roughly $113 in the lowest-cost states to about $196 in Hawaii, so treat location as a modest adjustment rather than the main driver.
The bigger lever is which of the 481 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 49 Iowa ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.
Metro areas in Iowa
Metro areas are Census core based statistical areas, so a metro can carry several counties and dozens of towns. Each one below has its own page with the full practice list.

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
128 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 Iowa
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.

| LensCrafters | 1 | LensCrafters exam prices |
Multi-site practice groups
Names registered at three or more separate Iowa locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
