Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Midwood Eye Optometry PLLC and registered Midwood Eye 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 April 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 55 of 241 records were updated in 2024 or later and 125 predate 2020.
For local context: Charlotte holds 98 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 84 of them optometry and 14 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 28205. 83 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Vision Central in Charlotte, 1.2 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 optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Midwood Eye. 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 241 practices on the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia page give you the full local field to call around.
