Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Telford in short
Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Telford is the Southwater practice pairing eye and hearing care under one roof, open every day with online booking for both. Its customer base is the deepest in the round, and hearing aid buyers see a published voucher offer. Our verdict is that it suits anyone who wants both senses checked in one trip.
The store covers eye and hearing tests together from Southwater Way, opening every day with both bookable online. A published voucher offer features for hearing aid buyers. An optical-register update names an optometrist at this practice. The store page sets out full opening hours with a phone line and online booking. Weekend opening runs both days, which suits workers who cannot visit midweek. The Southwater store keeps its own direct phone line. Eye and hearing appointments can be booked together or apart.
Reviews are strong, with a 4.7 rating from 2130 Google reviews. That is the deepest review base in this round by a distance, all sitting on the Google listing. A base that size steadies the average, though it covers the whole store rather than the test room alone.
What counts against Specsavers is price openness: no eye-test or glasses prices appear on the store page, and the OCT scan is marked as chargeable with no figure. Insurance details are missing too.
Our verdict
Our verdict is that this branch suits residents who want a central Telford practice open every day with eye and hearing care under one roof [1]. The review base is wide at 2,130 ratings, and the register names an optometrist at the store [2] [3]. Published prices and insurance details are missing, which counts against it.

Questions about Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Telford
Is Specsavers Telford any good?
On the evidence, yes for combined care: it sits second in our Telford opticians table, holds 4.7 from 2130 Google reviews, and covers eye and hearing tests with daily opening. No prices are published. Book online and ask the full test fee first. Daily opening covers weekends, which suits anyone booking around work.
Is Specsavers Telford registered?
An optical-register update names an optometrist at the Southwater practice. Search the register online yourself for the practitioner name and confirm it matches the branch before you book, and ask the branch for the name where the search puzzles you. Keep the practitioner name from the update and check it matches the branch you visit.
What does Specsavers Telford charge?
It publishes no eye-test or glasses prices, and the OCT scan is marked as chargeable with no figure. The only stated offer is a voucher off hearing aids. Ask for the test fee, the scan charge and the itemised glasses split first. Ask for the scan charge as a separate line, since it sits outside the test fee.
Where does Specsavers Telford work?
The practice serves Telford from Southwater Way, opening seven days with eye and hearing appointments bookable online. Call the store line to check same-week availability. Allow time for both tests where you book them together, and bring your current glasses to the appointment. The branch sits in the town centre, so pair the visit with shopping where that helps.
How is Specsavers Telford ranked?
It ranks second of the ten opticians in our September round, carried by its wide customer record and register entry, with missing prices counting against it. Read the full review alongside the scorecard, then ask for the fee breakdown first. Set its written quote beside the Lawley independent to see what longer chair time buys.
How do I get a quote from Specsavers Telford?
Book online or on the store line, then ask for the test fee, the OCT scan charge and the itemised glasses split as three separate figures. The only published offer is a voucher off hearing aids, so take nothing for granted on test prices. Set the written quote beside one independent before you agree.
What do customers say about Specsavers Telford?
The Google listing holds a 4.7 rating from 2130 reviews, the deepest base in this round by far. That volume steadies the average, though the count covers hearing care as well as eye tests. Read recent entries for test-day detail, then weigh them against the missing prices before you book.
How does Specsavers Telford compare with the other Telford opticians?
It sits second in our September round, just behind the shopping-centre branch, carried by its wide customer record and named register entry. The combined eye and hearing offer with daily opening is what sets it apart from the independents below it. Missing prices are the gap to watch, so weigh the convenience against one itemised independent quote before you decide.
