Reading this record

The practice bills under the legal name Williams Vision Care & Associates and registered Acute Vision Care, Corp. 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 October 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 133 of 375 records were updated in 2024 or later and 165 predate 2020.

For local context: Silver Spring holds 44 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 24 of them optometry and 20 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 20904. 28 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Cherry Hill Vision in Silver Spring, 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 Maryland boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

Also registered at this address

2 other organizations hold an NPI at the same street address. Shared suites and multi-specialty buildings are common, and it is worth knowing which entity you are actually booking with.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this

The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Acute Vision Care, Corp.. 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 375 practices on the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria page give you the full local field to call around.
