Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Symeon, LLC and registered My Eyelab 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 March 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 18 of 208 records were updated in 2024 or later and 146 predate 2020.
For local context: Norfolk holds 24 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 15 of them optometry and 9 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 23518. 22 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Sea Eye Care in Norfolk, 0.5 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 Virginia 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 My Eyelab. 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 208 practices on the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk page give you the full local field to call around.
