VisionTestCost.com is an independent price comparison resource. One labelled affiliate link (VSP individual vision plans) can earn us a commission; it never changes a price. Most US optical chains publish no exam price at all, so a figure here is either a published price or a reported range, and the provider pages say which.
Wisconsin - CMS NPI registry, October 2026

Eye Doctors in Wisconsin: 588 Registered Practices

The October 2026 CMS national provider file lists 588 eye care organizations across Wisconsin: 487 registered as optometry practices (83 percent) and 101 as ophthalmology practices. They sit in 198 cities and towns, led by Milwaukee (31), Brookfield (22), Kenosha (21) and Madison (21). 27 metro areas have enough registered practices for a page of their own and hold 87 percent of the state's records; the remainder are listed below. 123 records were updated by the practice in 2024 or later and 321 have not been touched since before 2020.

Where they are: Milwaukee-Waukesha alone holds 169 of them, 29 percent of the state total. Optometry accounts for 83 percent of Wisconsin records, and 16 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 Wisconsin

The registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting exam fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one on their own store pages (30 September 2026). For a national benchmark somebody does publish, Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). In Wisconsin, the 22 stores publishing a fee have a median of $69 and a range of $65 to $190: two practices in this state differ by more than Wisconsin differs from the national median.

The bigger lever is which of the 588 practices below you call. Retail optical sits at $50 to $110, independent optometry at $120 to $200, and the 101 Wisconsin ophthalmology practices at $150 to $300 or more, since those visits are usually medical rather than routine.

Metro areas in Wisconsin

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

78 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.
