Eye Doctors in Puerto Rico: 400 Registered Practices
Where they are: San Juan-Bayamón-Caguas alone holds 268 of them, 67 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 71 percent of Puerto Rico records, and 23 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 Puerto Rico
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 400 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 115 Puerto Rico ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.

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
14 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.

Retail optical brands registered in Puerto Rico
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.
| Brand | Records in PR | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| Pearle Vision | 18 | Pearle Vision exam prices |
| Eyemart Express | 3 | Eyemart Express exam prices |
Multi-site practice groups
Names registered at three or more separate Puerto Rico locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
