Eye care practices in Yuma: market data

What stands out

These come out of the numbers rather than from any judgement we made. Each one either compares Yuma with the other markets we track or points to something uncommon in the Yuma data itself.

• Eye care practices per 100,000 residents: 13.2 in Yuma, above the 10.4 typical of the 19 other Arizona markets we measure.

How Yuma compares

Each bar shows Yuma against the middle value across the other markets we measure. A measure with nothing to compare against is left out rather than compared to itself.

Optometry and ophthalmology

Practices registered under each provider type in the federal registry. Optometrists handle exams, glasses, and contacts; ophthalmologists are physicians who also perform eye surgery.

Change over time

Each point is one measurement of this market. We keep every snapshot rather than overwriting it, so the line reflects the market rather than the last time we happened to look.

What we could and could not check

13 eye care practices are in the public records behind this page. 13 of them meet our bar to appear in the directory. Every share above is calculated over the eye care practices we could actually verify, never over the whole market.

How these numbers were produced

Counts come from public records for every eye care practice in this area, whether or not it appears in our directory. That gap is the point: a directory that reports only on itself tells you nothing you could not see by browsing it.

Per-resident figures use a population of 98,461 from the Census Bureau (acs5-2023).

• Provider type comes from the federal registry rather than from what a practice advertises, so a clinic employing both optometrists and ophthalmologists is counted once.
• Nothing here says whether a practice is accepting new patients, how long the wait is, or which vision plans it takes.
• A surgical practice and a single optical shop each count as one.

What each figure means

Eye care practices counted

Every eye care practice in the underlying public registry for this area, whether or not it has a profile on this site.

Eye care practices per 100,000 residents

Eye care practices counted here divided by the town's own population, expressed per 100,000 residents. Eye care practices are counted where they sit, and people routinely drive to the next town, so a town centre surrounded by suburbs reads high and the suburbs read low. Read it as how concentrated eye care practices are in this town, not how easy it is for residents to be seen.

ZIP codes with at least one eye care practice

How many distinct ZIP codes in this area have at least one eye care practice in the registry. A low number next to a high count means the eye care practices sit close together.

Optometry and ophthalmology

Practices registered under each provider type in the federal registry. Optometrists handle exams, glasses, and contacts; ophthalmologists are physicians who also perform eye surgery.
