Our Services

Eye Examinations

There’s far more to an eye examination than reading letters from a chart. Gray and Bull is one of the oldest optician practices in the UK.

Contact Lenses

Offering convenience, comfort and clear vision, contact lenses are a wonderful alternative to glasses for many of our patients.

Children's Eyecare

Children experience the world primarily through their eyes – at home, at school, in sport, and in play. Keeping their vision in great shape from an early age is one of the most important things you can do for their overall wellbeing and development.

Myopia Management

Short-sightedness – or myopia – has become one of the defining eye health challenges of our time. Cases are rising sharply across the globe, with children and teenagers particularly affected.

I keep coming back to Gray and Bull because for me along with great friendly all round service, they have the best independent frames in Nottingham. Vinylize and Mykita are my favourites. Stylish and cutting edge!
