Shropshire Eye Care Opticians in short

Shropshire Eye Care Opticians is an independent at The Parade in Donnington, run by a husband-and-wife team with a patient base in the thousands and hospital-linked children's screening. Every standard examination includes free digital retinal imaging, and emergency appointments come free through the NHS route. Our verdict is that it suits Donnington and Dawley residents who value continuity.

Customer reviews are warm, with a 4.3 rating from 19 Google reviews. The NHS lists the branch for sight tests. The practice takes part in the local urgent-eye-condition scheme.

What counts against Shropshire Eye Care is paperwork and prices: the linked company was dissolved while the practice, site and NHS listing stay live, and no prices are published. Insurance details are missing too.

Our verdict

Our verdict is that this practice suits Donnington and Dawley residents who want continuity from a long-running independent with hospital-linked children's screening [1]. NHS sight tests, free retinal imaging and an MECS route all feature [2] [3]. The dissolved limited company and missing prices and insurance details count against it.

Questions about Shropshire Eye Care Opticians

Is Shropshire Eye Care any good?

On the evidence, yes for continuity: it sits seventh in our Telford opticians table, holds 4.3 from 19 Google reviews, and pairs free retinal imaging with hospital-linked children's screening. No prices are published. Call the practice and ask for the fees first.

Is Shropshire Eye Care on the NHS urgent eye care scheme?

The NHS lists the Donnington branch for sight tests, and it takes part in the local urgent-eye-condition scheme. That is what sits behind its NHS standing. Ask the practice how urgent slots are booked, and whether children can use the urgent route.

What does Shropshire Eye Care charge?

It publishes no prices; the site speaks of affordable prices and free NHS emergency appointments without figures. Ask for the test fee and the itemised glasses split before you agree anything. Get both figures before you book, and ask what the free emergency appointments cover.

Where does Shropshire Eye Care work?

The practice serves Donnington, Dawley and wider Telford from The Parade. Call the branch line to check availability. Ask about children's screening where that matters to you, and mention any family history of eye conditions when you book the visit.

How is Shropshire Eye Care ranked?

It ranks seventh of the ten opticians in our September round, carried by its NHS listings and imaging, with the dissolved company and missing prices counting against it. Read the full review, then ask for the fee breakdown first, and ask who owns the practice today.
