Meet Najiyah

Najiyah is a newly qualified Optometrist, bringing fresh enthusiasm and a genuine passion for patient care to the Eye Emporium team.

She was inspired to pursue optometry after going through a tough bout of viral conjunctivitis, which meant several visits to Moorfields Eye Hospital.

“It made me realise just how much we rely on our vision — and how easy it is to take it for granted.”

What she loves most about the job? Making a meaningful difference, especially with younger patients. Helping a child see the board clearly at school? That’s life-changing stuff, and it’s exactly why Najiyah chose this path.

One especially memorable moment was spotting double vision in a patient — which led to a hospital referral and the diagnosis of an aneurysm. It was a powerful reminder that eye tests don’t just protect vision — they can save lives.

Her favourite part of working at Eye Emporium is the supportive, tight-knit team who share her drive to go the extra mile for every patient.

Najiyah’s top tip for eye health: "Take regular screen breaks — your eyes need downtime too! And don’t skip your routine eye exams — they’re about much more than just reading letters on a chart".

Is Your Child Struggling to See Clearly? It Could Be Myopia.

Short-sightedness (also called Myopia) is becoming more common in kids—and it's something to keep an eye on (literally!). While there’s no cure, the good news is that Myopia can be managed to help slow down its progression.

Now’s a great time to book a children’s eye test and catch any early signs.
