Blepharitis
Report
We provide professional guidance on managing blepharitis, a common inflammation of the eyelids that often becomes a long-term condition. Our care focuses on maintaining eyelid hygiene and supporting those with dry eye symptoms frequently linked to this issue. We explain the differences between anterior and posterior forms, including Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. We also offer in-practice Blephex treatment for effective and lasting relief.
Cataract
Report
Our cataract service is designed to help you understand the gradual changes caused by a cloudy lens and what steps can be taken as symptoms progress. We advise on prevention myths, visual difficulties, and driving requirements, and we arrange specialist referral when surgery becomes appropriate. We also offer post-operative guidance, including eyewear needs and recovery expectations.
Childrens Eye Health
Report
We offer comprehensive eye care for children, focusing on early identification of sight problems such as long- and short-sightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye and squint. We support parents in understanding visual development from infancy and advise when a full eye examination is essential. We also guide families on colour-vision concerns and proper sun protection to safeguard developing eyes.
Diabetes
Report
We provide thorough assessments to monitor how diabetes may be affecting the delicate blood vessels within your eyes. By examining the retina, we can identify early signs of diabetic retinopathy and advise on appropriate steps to reduce progression. Prompt detection allows us to discuss suitable treatments when required. We encourage you to attend without delay if your vision changes.
Dry Eye
Report
We provide clear guidance to help you understand dry eye, a common condition caused by reduced tear production or excessive evaporation. Our aim is to explain its symptoms, why it may recur, and how everyday factors can influence your comfort. We offer practical advice on eyelid care, environmental adjustments, and suitable lubricants. We ensure you receive personalised recommendations based on the underlying cause.
Eye Examination
Report
We provide a thorough eye examination beginning with a brief questionnaire to understand how you use your glasses, followed by a relaxed consultation with our optometrist. Your assessment typically lasts around thirty minutes and includes clear explanations throughout. Afterward, our dispensing optician offers honest guidance on suitable frames and lens options, ensuring you receive personalised recommendations without pressure.
Glaucoma Care
Report
We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, offering professional support for both chronic and acute forms of the condition. Our team conducts thorough examinations, using precise tools to monitor eye pressure and optic nerve integrity. Treatment plans are carefully designed, often including prescribed drops and lifestyle advice. Consistent monitoring is essential, and we prioritise patient education to help manage the condition effectively.

Dr Janjua is an excellent optician and my current glasses are perfect for my needs. Eye test are professional, detailed and comprehensive and the resulting prescriptions spot on. I don't get on too well with varifocals so Dr Janua identified a different type , anti-fatigue, which are just what I needed and I've been using those extensively since. The staff in the practice are great, always helpful and friendly. The only reason for not giving 5 starts is that the prices are not the most competitive, but if you want assured quality then the practice is hard to beat

I've been seeing Dr. Janjua for several years. Before seeing him, I used to struggle with extreme light sensitivity (photophobia), which would result in eye strain and headaches. Dr. Janjua was the first to properly diagnose the photophobia, and dialled in my prescription so precisely that upon wearing my new lenses I no longer had any issues. He is very thorough in his examinations, and always provides a professional and courteous service. I like that Dr. Janjua always remembers me, and is always up to date with my patient file whenever I come in to see him. The staff is also fantastic. Highly recommended.

My experience when I went to the John Flynn opticians I had a very good experience, staff was very welcoming and customer service was very good. I had very dry eyes but after the treatment I saw a lot of improvement and very happy with the results. It hasnt completely gone but Im pleased and grateful for what your service has done.

My experience at John Flynn Opticians has been exceptional. Sheeraz Janjua, Optometrist, was fully attentive and made me feel really welcome and listened fully to everything I said. I have never been tested at an opticians in the way I was here, everything was covered in detail and professionally. The detail he gave to me was first class. The staff at John Flynn are excellent and made me fully welcome. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this opticians. I will most definitely return.

An exceptional experience. All the staff were knowledgable, friendly, and attentive. The optician himself was demonstratively expert and provided a clear and understandable explanation of the process and outcome of my eye test. He took time to really develop a personalised solution for my eye sight needs and the different use cases I have. You really feel that he is not constrained by an appointment time slot. No rushing to templated conclusions. No dismissive explanations. Very professional and highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dr. Janjua. His clinical practice goes way beyond anything I have experienced before. He is extremely knowledgeable and always explains everything. He is constantly keeping himself up-to-date to research the latest innovative, cutting edge treatments for eye conditions beyond routine eye tests and dispensing glasses. His treatments for me have been life changing. The practice team are always welcoming, efficient and helpful in everything they do. I cannot praise them all highly enough.
