About Specsavers Sunderland
Specsavers Sunderland is on Athenaeum Street at Waterloo Place, in the pedestrianised shopping area close to The Bridges and Fawcett Street. As well as being an opticians, the store offers audiology, so hearing checks and hearing aid services are available alongside eye care.
The practice is listed on the NHS directory of sight test providers, so eligible patients can have an NHS-funded eye examination there, and it stocks the chain's own ranges of glasses and contact lenses. Appointments can be booked online through the Specsavers website or by phone. Its central position near the bus routes along Fawcett Street and the station makes it an easy choice for people combining an eye test with a trip into town, or a hearing check with an eye appointment.
