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.

Reading this record

Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. 3 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 entry was last refreshed in June 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 109 of 632 records were updated in 2024 or later and 350 predate 2020.

For local context: Watertown holds 8 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 8 of them optometry and 0 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 02472. 6 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Edward Eye Associates LLC in Watertown, 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 Massachusetts boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

Also registered at this address

1 other organization holds 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registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Serenity Eye Care LLC, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $120 to $200 at this kind of practice without insurance, which is a reported band rather than a published price. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one (30 September 2026), and Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). Ask Serenity Eye Care LLC for its self-pay price.

Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses (the median published contact-lens fee is $129). A comprehensive exam is $80 to $120 at the middle half of stores that print a price. If price is the deciding factor, the 632 practices on the Boston-Cambridge-Newton page give you the full local field to call around.
