Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Matrixx Optics Ltd and registered Metrovision Optical 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 July 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 373 of 2,176 records were updated in 2024 or later and 1,246 predate 2020.
For local context: Hempstead holds 8 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 4 of them optometry and 4 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 11550. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is National Optical in Hempstead, 0.1 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 York 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NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Metrovision Optical, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Metrovision Optical 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 2,176 practices on the New York-Newark-Jersey City page give you the full local field to call around.
