Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name National Vision Inc and registered America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. 532 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 name matches the America's Best retail brand, which sits at the $50 to $110 end of the exam price range rather than the independent-practice end. The entry was last refreshed in February 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 16 of 77 records were updated in 2024 or later and 38 predate 2020.
For local context: Lexington holds 55 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 36 of them optometry and 19 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 40503. 46 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Medical Vision Institute, PSC in Lexington, 0.1 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 Kentucky 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 optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses. Based on this site's own price research, an independent optometry practice typically charges $120 to $200 for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses, since that takes a visit to $150 to $370. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250. If price is the deciding factor, the 77 practices on the Lexington-Fayette page give you the full local field to call around.
