Eye Doctors in Pennsylvania: 1,753 Registered Practices

The August 2026 CMS national provider file lists 1,753 eye care organizations across Pennsylvania: 1,286 registered as optometry practices (73 percent) and 467 as ophthalmology practices. They sit in 427 cities and towns, led by Philadelphia (143), Pittsburgh (110), Erie (38) and York (37). 36 metro areas have enough registered practices for a page of their own and hold 98 percent of the state's records; the remainder are listed below. 235 records were updated by the practice in 2024 or later and 1,083 have not been touched since before 2020.

Where they are: Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington alone holds 589 of them, 34 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 73 percent of Pennsylvania records, and 64 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 Pennsylvania

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 1,753 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 467 Pennsylvania ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.

Metro areas in Pennsylvania

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

33 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.

Retail optical brands registered in Pennsylvania

Records whose legal or trading name contains the brand. Retail chains are the low end of the exam price range, so this is worth checking before you call an independent practice.
