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.
The branch serves Wellington and wider Telford from New Street. The NHS leaflet supplies the address and phone behind the listing, alongside the urgent-eye-care entry. With no prices on the branch page, the phone call carries the pricing detail. Online booking is the branch's strongest card, giving Wellington residents the chain formula without crossing to the town centre. The NHS leaflet lists the branch for urgent eye care. Booking runs through the branch page. That is the whole public record.
Customer reviews are strong, with a 4.7 rating from 571 Google reviews. That is a deep branch base, second only to the Southwater store in this round. It all sits on the Google listing. The branch sits eighth in our September round, with the thin store page holding it below richer listings.
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.
Our verdict
Our verdict is that this branch suits Wellington residents who want a high-street practice with online booking and an NHS urgent-eye-condition route [1] [2]. Ratings stand at 4.7 from 571 reviews [3]. Missing prices and insurance details count against it.

Is Specsavers Wellington on the NHS urgent eye care scheme?

The thin store page hides the fees, so ask for test and glasses figures together.
