About Vision Express Sunderland
Vision Express Sunderland is inside The Bridges, the main shopping centre in the city, a short walk from Sunderland station and the bus stops on Fawcett Street. It opens on Sundays as well as Monday to Saturday, which helps anyone who cannot get to an appointment during the working week.
The practice offers eye examinations and a range of glasses and contact lenses, and appointments can be booked online. Vision Express also has a second Sunderland store inside Tesco on Sunderland Retail Park, Newcastle Road, for those north of the river. The Bridges branch suits shoppers who want to fit an eye test into a trip into town, including at the weekend, and wheelchair users can get into the store without steps.
