O’Brien’s Optician owner marks new achievement

In 2017, Sheeraz Janjua, the owner and senior optometrist at O’Brien’s Optician in Brigg, attained a Doctor of Optometry degree. In 2025, he has built on that success by completing his MSc in Clinical Optometry at Cardiff University.

His latest achievement entailed a number of examinations and the compilation of an extensive review of current research into Photobiomodulation, a new form of therapy which uses special light sources to treat patients who have Dry Age-related Macular Disease (DryAMD) or patients who have Dry Eye Disease (DED) or Meibomion Gland Dysfunction (MGD).

Dr Janjua has been using these new light-based therapies extensively in his practice in Brigg and his treated patients have been reporting very positive results.

O’Brien’s, in Wrawby Street, Brigg, welcomes the registration of new patients and is open from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm. Call 01652 653595 to make an appointment with Dr Janjua for an advanced eye examination.
