Specsavers: Your Vision and Hearing Experts
Specsavers is a retail chain selling prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and hearing aids both in-store and online. They also sell designer glasses and offer bespoke fittings. Their products are recommended by qualified team members following an eye or hearing test. In addition to designer brands, they sell their own range of products at more affordable prices.
Founded in the UK, Specsavers now operates globally with over 2,000 stores. These stores can be found on high streets in major cities across the UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
Many people are familiar with the brand's catchy slogan, "Should’ve gone to Specsavers." It’s often used humorously when someone misses something obvious or can’t see clearly. Football fans also use the slogan to express frustration at referees.
As mentioned, Specsavers operates stores across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. While their services and products are consistent internationally, opening times vary.
Some Specsavers stores open as early as 7 am, while others may open later, around 1 pm. Similarly, closing times differ, with stores closing anywhere between 5 pm and 11 pm. Specsavers' opening hours may vary on public holidays such as New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas, Boxing Day, and other bank holidays. To find the opening times for your nearest Specsavers, it’s best to check the online store locator.
Recognising a Specsavers store is easy, thanks to its distinctive logo: two green overlapping eye shapes with white text on top. Depending on the store’s age, the text may read "Specsavers" or "Specsavers Opticians."

Specsavers offers customers eye tests and prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses. They frequently run promotions such as discounted eye tests or 2-for-1 deals on frames. Their range includes sunglasses and contact lenses, as well as designer glasses from brands like Alex Perry, Tommy Hilfiger, Superdry, Jeff Banks, and Ellery. Customers can purchase most products online as well as in-store.
In recent years, Specsavers has expanded its services to include hearing tests and hearing aids. More than 400 stores now offer hearing services, and it remains to be seen whether the popular slogan will also be used for their hearing campaigns.
Specsavers was established in 1984 by married couple Doug and Mary Perkins in Guernsey. In 2007, Mary Perkins was honoured with the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire in recognition of her business skills and community work. She remains one of the few female billionaires in the UK. Specsavers continues to grow, bolstered by humorous advertising campaigns that showcase the funny side of poor eyesight. The company has also teamed up with Kylie Minogue to offer her own line of stylish eyewear.
