Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Wooster Ophthalmologists, Inc. and registered Wooster Eye Center; Wooster Optical as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. 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 August 2025, putting it among the 3 of 7 Wooster records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Wooster holds 5 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 4 of them optometry and 1 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 44691. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Scott D Pycraft in Wooster, 0.2 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 Ohio 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holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Wooster Eye Center; Wooster Optical, and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Wooster Eye Center; Wooster Optical 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 6 optometry practices on the Wooster page if you only need a prescription.
