Worried about laser surgery? Ortho-K could be for you
If you find glasses a hassle or can’t tolerate contact lenses all day – especially with dry eyes – you’re not alone. And while laser surgery is an option for some, the risks of permanent side effects are enough to put many people off. So what if there was a different way to treat short-sightedness? One that was safe, reversible and didn’t interrupt your daily routine? That’s exactly what Ortho-K lenses offer – a clever, non-invasive solution for clearer vision without compromise.
“Alan and his team have to be the best optometrist practice in the Midlands! Every visit has been a pleasure. Friendly, helpful, professional, you always feel as though you are their most important customer. I have been using Ortho-K lenses through their innovative monthly subscription programme which has been so liberating. No contact lenses or glasses during the day. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone short sighted. Alan is very generous in his time and knowledge and definitely has the best interests of each of his customers at heart. I cannot recommend them enough.”
What is Ortho-K and how could it help me?
Orthokeratology – or Ortho-K for short – is an advanced, non-surgical treatment for short-sightedness (myopia). It works by placing custom-designed, gas permeable lenses on the eyes overnight. While you sleep, these lenses gently reshape the cornea so you can enjoy clear, unaided vision throughout the day – no glasses or daytime contact lenses needed.
This treatment is suitable for most people with myopia, including those with mild to moderate astigmatism or dry eyes. It’s particularly beneficial for active individuals who find glasses restrictive, and it’s proven to be highly effective for children as well as adults.
The process is simple and effortless for the wearer, requiring just a consistent nighttime routine. At Bellamy Eyecare, we are proud to be among the most experienced providers of Ortho-K lenses in Leicester and the region – offering this innovative and life-enhancing treatment to patients who want freedom from glasses without the risks of surgery.

“My family have been going to Bellamy Eyecare for many years and have always had amazing service. Recently my seven-year-old was prescribed glasses and his eyes began to get worse quite quickly. Mr Bellamy came up with these amazing lenses that my son wears overnight and he has 20/20 vision during the day! How amazing! My son is a little lively to say the least but Mr Bellamy is so patient. Even the receptionist is so friendly. I can’t recommend this optician enough.”
Your plan for convenient glasses-free vision
1. In-depth consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment by one of our senior optometrists.
We’ll examine the health of both the front and back of your eyes and use state-of-the-art imaging technology to map the precise curvature of your cornea – all without any contact. This allows us to determine whether Ortho-K is the right fit for your eyes and visual needs.
2. Precision-crafted lenses
If you’re a good candidate, we’ll order bespoke Ortho-K lenses designed specifically for your unique eye shape and prescription.
These specialist lenses are replaced every six months, with ongoing supply and aftercare included as part of your treatment package.
3. Freedom from glasses
Once your lenses arrive, we’ll show you exactly how to insert, remove and care for them with ease. From your very first night of wear, Ortho-K gets to work – and you’ll soon experience the freedom of clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
“我們一家來這間眼鏡店主要是為女兒配戴OK鏡，由於女兒近視突然加深了很多，試過其他的矯視方法，效果未如理想，所以最後想試一試OK鏡，店主Alan耐心講解關於OK鏡的一切，這間眼鏡店提供一對一的貼心服務，幫助我女兒克服所有問題，我女兒覺得店主Alan很溫柔及好人，亦覺得OK鏡非常之有效，只需晚上配戴了OK鏡，早上起床之後就不需再戴眼鏡了，確實很方便”
