Services
Our focus is you. We are passionate about giving you the service you need to help you find the perfect eyewear! We were first established as opticians in Leicester in 1946 by Adrian Mattock. Since then we've looked after the eyes of over 38,000 patients! Adrian was succeeded by Jim Smith and then Alan took over in 2000.
In our Irthlingborough practice, Tracey's team consists of herself, Cheryl, Claire and Lisa. They certainly match the Leicester branch in the quality of service that clients experience. It's thanks to working in small teams that we are able to develop close relationships with you, so we can really understand your visual needs and personal preferences.
Eyes are the window to the soul - there's no need to hide them when you wear glasses. We keep an eye on style and function when it comes to frames. How good they look, how comfortable they are to wear and how they express your personality. We go the extra mile to find what's new, source the best quality, stock a wide range of quality designs and train our team in how to help you choose the style that really shows the true you.
Each season we visit international exhibitions in search of the world's finest designer glasses frames. We have relationships with the most admired and respected eyewear designers in the industry. We also look for niche, independent eyewear companies who produce different and exclusive eyewear. Our eyewear is of the highest quality and many brands are frames that only people in the know have heard of. And they are hard to find: only a handful of the UK's most progressive opticians carry these collections.
20/20 vision, few of us have it but we are on a mission to make sure your vision is as sharp as can be no matter what your age or lifestyle. Being an independent practice means we're free to choose the very best for our customers in every way. We can take the time over your eyecare to get things just right, source great quality products and frames and also seek out the best lenses.

I made an eye test appointment with Bellamy Eyecare as I was having eye problems. I was seen by Alan who carried out various tests and scans and then explained the results in very simple terms. Alan ruled out any ongoing issues, which was very reassuring to hear. The eye scan isn't available as part of the usual NHS eye test but it's definitely worth getting the additional scan which can detect any serious issues at an earlier stage, or in my case rule them out thankfully.
I would recommend Bellamy Eyecare for a professional and very friendly service. From the desk staff to the opticians, they seem to be a very well run business. Thanks again to Alan and his staff!

I had my eye examination a couple of weeks ago and was very pleased with the service. It was very good as usual. Everyone took their time with me and after Tracy's through testing I was helped to choose my new glasses. I wasn't rushed at all which was very helpful as I didn't feel I had to make a rushed decision. Thank you everyone and I love my new well fitting glasses.

Absolutely outstanding customer service from all employees working at Bellamy's! I felt like I have been listened to my requirements and as my eyes are a very sensitive subject to me I was very happy with the understanding I received. There was a very specific style of frames I wanted to get, so I have been asked to show an examples to Bellamy's. They organised frames to be transferred from the other branch for me to try before I buy.
Also made a special order requirement for me from their supplier about the colours I like! I really appreciate that extra mile they made to make me happy! Bellamy's team made me becoming their permanent customer from now on. I no longer looking for other opticians and certainly won't visit high street ones again as the experience I received here as a customer was excellent and I can't express enough how professional and at the same time friendly manner they run this place! They even gave me a constructive feedback on the frames I tried on to make sure I won't buy ones which won't suit me. And always offered me coffee!

I had my first eye examination and sight test at Bellamy Eyecare 2 years ago. I wish I had found the place years ago! Alan succeeded where others had failed in sorting out multifocal contact lenses that actually work for me. He is as friendly and approachable as he is thorough, and all the staff are very pleasant and efficient. I've just been back for an annual check up and new glasses and am delighted with the results. I thoroughly recommend Bellamy Eyecare.

I recently had my eyes tested and it was a really enjoyable experience. Every one who served me was very warm and friendly. When I was selecting my frames I was served by Claire who was extremely attentive and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in a really understandable manner- no jargon but still extremely professional. I would give more than 5 stars if I were able to based on Claire's level of service.
My glasses are really different and I love them.they have some really beneficial extras which I would highly recommend speaking to Claire and getting her advice on suitability- they have really transformed my vision! Thanks again!

I can't recommend Bellamy Eyecare highly enough. When examining my eyes, Tracey was extremely thorough, and patiently took her time when exploring different options with me to ensure my needs were being met. After her assessment, Tracey's detailed and knowledgeable advice left me feeling confident and reassured; I am now looking forward to receiving my second pair of glasses from her. It was tricky deciding on my new frames as there are so many lovely ones to choose from! Thank you, Tracey.

I cannot recommend Tracy and her team at Bellamy's enough. Having suffered with frequent eye strain and headaches Tracy put herself out to see me during her own lunch break to diagnose my problem! Brilliant, friendly and compassionate service. I would highly recommend and will certainly not be going anywhere else. Well done Bellamy's.

Excellent service & support from the team. Very thorough eye test including scan & great diagnosis. I was served by Claire, she was great! Really helped me in picking out some nice glasses, after trying on literally all of them in the shop! There's a good selection. The team are professional yet very friendly and welcoming. I was recommended by my hubby who also was extremely happy with their service and products. They also have good eye are plans for you to choose. I saved around 121 by going on the supreme eyecare plan (can't remember the exact name).

A lovely small family firm. I have been a loyal customer of Bellamys for well over 20 years, starting out with Alan at their Leicester branch, then moving over to see his wife Tracey at the Irthlingborough branch when I relocated to the area. I have found their service to be professional and consistent. Tracey and her assistant, Cheryl, are always in good spirits even in hard times.
It is a pleasure to be their customer. I don't need to choose my glasses because they know exactly what I like and choose them for me. I often receive compliments about my glasses. Over the years, I have found my glasses to be durable, of an excellent quality and sometimes I just change the lenses and keep the frames because I like them so much. Bellamy's are very welcoming of ethnic minorities and those from the LGBTQ communities.
They are also experienced with supporting those with a hearing impairment. They are conscientious about disabilities and I am aware they have tried to make adjustments to the property but the steps to the backroom is a barrier which they are aware of. I don't usually provide Google reviews and this is my first because Bellamy's have earned it!

Very helpful, professional and friendly. Cheryl was amazing!!! She was warm and extremely knowledgeable in helping me choose the right frames that would suit my face, which was the complete opposite of what I though I would like. Fitting was easy and price was extremely competitive!! Fab experience.

I cannot recommend Bellamy eyecare highly enough! I drive from Warwickshire to have my eye and contact lense checks with this opticians practice as Alan Bellamy is always extremely thorough with eye checks and his expertise as an optician really is second to none! The reception staff are always so friendly and helpful as is Alan. Without a doubt the best eye care practice I've ever been to! :

Bellamy Eyecare is a local independent opticians providing a first class service. The staff spend time making sure your needs are fully met, explaining each step of the process and the results of your examination. You are not pressured to buy - if the change in a prescription lens is minimal they will advise you there is no need to change glasses unless you want to. Consequently when they recommend a change you know you need it!
The staff then help you to select exactly the right frames for your new glasses. Turn round time on a new order is quick and aftercare is brilliant. The complimentary lens cleaner and free top-ups are a nice touch. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic. I went for an eye examination and had a difficult problem. Despite my examination taking a considerable longer time than anticipated nothing was too much trouble and Tracey got to the bottom of my problems. Sally was so good and helpful as well. I went in feeling apprehensive and worried and came out feeling happier and able to deal with my eye problems. Can't praise them enough.
