How St. George compares
Each bar shows St. George 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.

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 99,184 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 organizations — 7,415 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Open Saturday or Sunday
- Share of eye care practices whose published hours include Saturday or Sunday, out of the eye care practices whose hours we have on record.
- Open past 6pm on a weekday
- Share of eye care practices whose published hours run past 6pm on at least one weekday, out of the eye care practices whose hours we have on record.
- 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.
