Eye Doctors in Missouri: 740 Registered Practices
Where they are: St. Louis alone holds 314 of them, 42 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 82 percent of Missouri records, and 33 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 Missouri
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 740 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 135 Missouri ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.
Metro areas in Missouri
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
77 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.

Phone numbers are the practice location numbers on the NPI record, self-reported and not verified by CMS or by us. The record date is the last time the practice updated its own registry entry.
Retail optical brands registered in Missouri
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.
| Brand | Records in MO | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| America's Best | 9 | America's Best exam prices |
| Pearle Vision | 3 | Pearle Vision exam prices |
| Visionworks | 2 | Visionworks exam prices |
Multi-site practice groups
Names registered at three or more separate Missouri locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
