Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Stirling Eye Care PC and registered Ippolito Eye Care as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was refreshed in February 2026, putting it among the 172 of 1,029 New York-Newark-Jersey City records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Stirling holds 1 registered eye care practice in this snapshot, 1 of them optometry and 0 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 07980. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Dnv Optometry LLC in Berkeley Heights, 2.8 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 New Jersey boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Ippolito Eye Care, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Ippolito Eye Care 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 1,029 practices on the New York-Newark-Jersey City page give you the full local field to call around.
