Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Metro Optometry PLLC and registered Throggs Neck 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 last refreshed in November 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 357 of 2,166 records were updated in 2024 or later and 1,248 predate 2020.
For local context: Bronx holds 142 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 114 of them optometry and 28 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 10465. 120 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Martin Sabesan in Bronx, 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 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 Throggs Neck Eye Care. Based on this site's own price research, an independent optometry practice typically charges $120 to $200 for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses, since that takes a visit to $150 to $370. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250. If price is the deciding factor, the 2,166 practices on the New York-Newark-Jersey City page give you the full local field to call around.
