Eye Doctors in North Dakota: 135 Registered Practices

The August 2026 CMS national provider file lists 135 eye care organizations across North Dakota: 117 registered as optometry practices (87 percent) and 18 as ophthalmology practices. They sit in 34 cities and towns, led by Fargo (33), Bismarck (17), Minot (16) and Grand Forks (10). 7 metro areas have enough registered practices for a page of their own and hold 78 percent of the state's records; the remainder are listed below. 24 records were updated by the practice in 2024 or later and 76 have not been touched since before 2020.

Where they are: Fargo alone holds 38 of them, 28 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 87 percent of North Dakota records, and 5 practices register a subspecialty such as retina, glaucoma or pediatric care as their primary code rather than the general code.

What an eye exam costs in North Dakota

The registry holds no prices. This site's price research puts a US eye exam at about $136 without insurance and around $25 with a vision plan. Reported state averages run from roughly $113 in the lowest-cost states to about $196 in Hawaii, so treat location as a modest adjustment rather than the main driver.

The bigger lever is which of the 135 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 18 North Dakota ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.

Metro areas in North Dakota

Metro areas are Census core based statistical areas, so a metro can carry several counties and dozens of towns. Each one below has its own page with the full practice list.

City names are the free-text values practices entered in the registry, so nearby suburbs sometimes appear under their own name rather than the main city. The metro pages group them properly.

Practices outside the metro pages

30 practices sit in small metro and micropolitan areas or in rural counties outside any Census metro area, so they are listed here rather than on a page of their own.

Phone numbers are the practice location numbers on the NPI record, self-reported and not verified by CMS or by us. The record date is the last time the practice updated its own registry entry.

Multi-site practice groups

Names registered at three or more separate North Dakota locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
