Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Wellington in short

Specsavers Opticians and Audiologists - Wellington is the New Street branch offering eye tests with online booking and an urgent-eye-condition route through the local NHS scheme. The NHS leaflet gives its New Street address and phone for urgent bookings. Our verdict is that it suits Wellington residents who want the high-street formula close to home.

Customer reviews are strong, with a 4.7 rating from 571 Google reviews. The NHS leaflet lists the branch for urgent eye care. Booking runs through the branch page.

What counts against Specsavers is thin detail: no prices appear on the store page. The branch page itself carries little beyond booking, with address and phone coming from the NHS leaflet instead. Insurance details are missing too.
