Eye Doctors in Wisconsin: 588 Registered Practices
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.

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 Wisconsin
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 WI | Price guide |
|---|---|---|
| MyEyeDr | 16 | MyEyeDr exam prices |
| Pearle Vision | 7 | Pearle Vision exam prices |
| America's Best | 6 | America's Best exam prices |
| Visionworks | 2 | Visionworks exam prices |
Multi-site practice groups
Names registered at three or more separate Wisconsin locations. Group practices often run one price list across every office, so a quote from one site usually holds at the others.
