VisionTestCost.com is an independent price comparison resource. One labelled affiliate link (VSP individual vision plans) can earn us a commission; it never changes a price. Most US optical chains publish no exam price at all, so a figure here is either a published price or a reported range, and the provider pages say which.

What an eye exam costs around Augusta-Waterville

No prices exist in the NPI registry, so treat the list below as a call sheet rather than a quote sheet. The nearest published national figure is $95, the median starting exam fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one on their own store pages (30 September 2026), and Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004).

No national retail optical brand is registered under its own name in this metro, so expect the independent optometry band of $120 to $200 rather than the $50 to $110 retail band. A comprehensive exam is $80 to $120 at the middle half of stores that print a price, and a contact lens fitting is priced separately, at a $129 median published fee.
