What stands out

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

  • Eye care practices with a website: 19% in Texas, the lowest of the 9 states we measure nationwide.
  • Half of Texas's 3434 eye care practices sit in 130 of the 695 ZIP codes where any of them are located, 37 of them in 75093 alone.

How Texas compares

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

A dash in the per-resident column means the place is small enough that the people it serves and the people who live in it are not the same group, so the rate would measure where the city limits fall rather than access. The count still stands.

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.

Unchanged at 3,434 since 2026-08-29.

What we could and could not check

3,434 eye care practices are in the public records behind this page. 3,430 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.

Held back for now

Eye care practices per 100,000 residents
A per-resident figure for a whole state would imply we have measured every part of it. Our coverage within a state is uneven, so we publish the count and leave the rate to the city pages.

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 29,640,343 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.

Where the records come from

  • NPPES / NPI Registry — eye-care organizations7,415 records, retrieved August 26, 2026.

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.
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.
Eye care practices with a website
Share of eye care practices with a working website on record, out of the eye care practices whose contact details we have checked.
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.
