Dr Sheeraz Janjua is the highest and most reviewed Optometrist in the UK. He is well respected by both clinical colleagues and patients alike. He is a Fellow of the College of Optometrists, Doctor of Optometry and the Director of John Flynn Opticians, O'Brien's Opticians, Burrows & Wozencroft Opticians, and Gray & Bull.
He has over 27 years of experience in optometry, with specialist expertise in complex spectacle prescriptions, Dry AMD, Dry Eye Disease, medical retina, glaucoma, low-vision, sport vision and paediatric eye care, including myopia management. He is dedicated to providing the highest quality eye care to his patients. Dr Janjua was one of the first optometrists in the UK to offer photomedicine in the form of 'Photobiomodulation' for Dry AMD and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) alongside Intense Pulsating Light (IPL) for Dry Eye disease.

- This optician is the best around - helped me thru a traumatic time with my eyes as i nearlly went blind. I have been with them 55 years .
- I feel as though my eyesight was thoroughly tested both for distance and reading. My questions were answered and explanations given. For the first time at an optician’s I was told to take my time, not something you usually hear. I would definitely recommend Dr Janjua and if my glasses work for me, I will definitely be returning.
- Thank you for being so attentive. I have now received my new glasses and I can’t believe how sharp my vision is now. What have I been putting up with over the the last 15yrs? Everyone in the clinic has been really helpful and I feel Dr Janjua has done a great job and explained that I have a prism that has previously been missed with other cheaper high street stores. Thank you, my eyes now feel comfortable
- Friendly and very efficient. Thorough eye examination and offer of a free hearing check.
- Helpful, efficient and punctual. Would highly recommend.
