Boots Opticians Telford in short

Boots Opticians Telford is the New Street branch pairing eye tests with OCT and optomap scanning, published frame prices and lens offers. A free contact lens trial features, and the store page names the manager with full hours. Our verdict is that it suits town-centre shoppers who like prices on show today, whether they need glasses, lenses or a routine test.

Customer reviews are strong, with a 4.5 rating from 321 Google reviews. The practice holds an urgent-eye-condition slot through the local NHS scheme. The opticians company record runs back nearly two decades.

What counts against Boots Opticians is the missing eye-test price: frames and lens offers are published but the test fee is not. Insurance details are missing too.

Our verdict

Our verdict is that this branch suits town-centre shoppers who want published frame prices and lens offers alongside OCT and optomap eye tests [1]. The company has traded as an optician since 2008, and the practice holds an NHS urgent-eye-condition slot [2] [4]. A missing eye-test price and missing insurance details count against it.
