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.
Missouri - CMS NPI registry, October 2026

Eye Doctors in Missouri: 744 Registered Practices

The October 2026 CMS national provider file lists 744 eye care organizations across Missouri: 608 registered as optometry practices (82 percent) and 136 as ophthalmology practices. They sit in 169 cities and towns, led by Saint Louis (111), Kansas City (44), Springfield (29) and Columbia (27). 23 metro areas have enough registered practices for a page of their own and hold 90 percent of the state's records; the remainder are listed below. 95 records were updated by the practice in 2024 or later and 476 have not been touched since before 2020.

Where they are: St. Louis alone holds 315 of them, 42 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 82 percent of Missouri records, and 34 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, so nothing here is a quote. The nearest published 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). For a national benchmark somebody does publish, Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). In Missouri, the 22 stores publishing a fee have a median of $70 and a range of $69 to $112: two practices in this state differ by more than Missouri differs from the national median.

The bigger lever is which of the 744 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 136 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.

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.
