The same four staff members have been together for over 30 years so not only do we work well together but feel people appreciate seeing the same faces year on year. Stella and I began our partnership here in Lenton in 1983 in a conscious decision to avoid the more high street locations.
Our clientele mainly come from the west side of Nottingham, the Wollaton, Bramcote and Beeston areas plus the QMC and Nottingham University stretching through Lenton and up to the Park estate.Stella is the dispensing optician dealing mainly with frames and lenses and I perform the eye examinations and contact lens fitting and aftercare.

The first and main thing to remember is that your specs will sit on your face every day for the next 2 years or more so you want them to fit and be as comfortable as possible. You'll also want them to look good and give as clear vision as possible. Most people tend to think in terms of the frames but in reality it's the lenses that will have the major impact on weight and appearance.
Our recent visit to Optrafair left us really impressed with the new Marylyn Munroe and James Dean frames. The first collection available within the Marilyn Monroe range includes some styles rich with Swarovski crystal elements, strong metallic details, and hand-made mosaic patterns. Each frame is ultra-feminine, ideal for both everyday and occasional wear.
We have been fitting disposable lenses since they were invented over 25 years ago. These day's they account for practically all the contact lenses we fit. The benefits of frequent replacement are well known and, with the choice of materials we have these days, far more people can wear contact lenses.
Not so long ago most people gave up wearing contact lenses once they passed 40 and needed a reading addition. These days we can offer clear vision at both distance and near to most people up to and beyond retirement age. At it's simplest we correct your dominant eye with a distance lens and non dominant eye with a reading lens.
2. Next we get an idea of your prescription with our electronic autorefractor, this is a computerised form of sight test and gets a pretty accurate measurement in seconds. All this before we enter the testing room. 4. Next we follow a normal sight test routine to assess the focusing and coordination of the eyes.

We have had our eyes looked after by the team at PD Rees for over 30 years. Even when we moved away from Nottingham we still felt it was worth the journey as the service they give is professional and friendly. They know what they are doing, they want to look after your eyes and, if you need glasses, want you to choose ones that are right for you.

Have used PD Rees for years, because convenient for work. Latest expensive designer glasses failed somewhat disappointingly after a little over a year, with the rubber ear pieces wearing through so metal inside was rubbing ear. No concern expressed when I went in. No spares available on premises. Promised to track down a suitable part. Looked in a week later — nothing had been procured. By then in some pain from rubbed ears. Gave up in disgust and figured out for myself what was needed and found it on Amazon in about 15 minutes, who delivered it next day. Getting on for a month later, finally

I have been using P D Rees opticians for over 30 years for prvision of cobtact lenses. I can not speak highly enough of the quality of rhe service that Paul and his team provide. My wife often questions why i travel so far to see Paul and Stella but then complains if the variable poor impersonal service she receives from high street chain opticians.
Paul never fails to keep pace with contact lens development always working with me to find the best solution to my changing needs. Regular and comprehensive eye checks mean i have worn lenses pretty much everyday for 33 years. This is testament to
