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.

Reading this record

Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. The entry was refreshed in July 2026, putting it among the 56 of 241 Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.

For local context: Charlotte holds 98 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 84 of them optometry and 14 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 28210. 1 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates, PA in Charlotte, 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 North Carolina 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 ophthalmology practice like this

The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates, P.A., and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $150 to $300 or more 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 Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates, P.A. for its self-pay price.

Ophthalmology visits are usually medical rather than routine, which changes who pays: medical insurance and Medicare Part B cover a medically necessary exam, while a routine refraction for glasses is normally not covered. Ask whether the visit will be billed as medical or routine before you book, and compare with the 206 optometry practices on the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia page if you only need a prescription.
