About Pullen & Symes Opticians

Friendly. Local. Experienced.

Proud To Be An Independent Optician

In March 2003 Nicki and David Pullen took over the two well-established practices from our predecessor, John Symes who had built up a following in Exeter and Ottery St Mary for over 30 years.

Since 2003 we have moved to significantly larger premises in Ottery, completely refitted the Exeter practice and made huge investments in the very latest consulting room technology.

Today, our two teams are led by Emma Hill and we continue to provide comprehensive eye care for over 35,000 clients a year. We offer personalised eyecare, taking the time needed to provide a bespoke service.

Our Practices

Reassuringly Independent

Going to the Opticians is something most people do once every year or two. We aim to make this an enjoyable, relaxed experience where you can place your full trust in the hands of skilled professionals.

We provide the very highest level of eye care to families throughout Devon and treat everyone as an individual. We are passionate about what we do and we have a great team who will always make you feel welcome and valued.

Our Team
