Background Information 
Professional profile:

Mr Rajan qualified in 1994 and has 15 years experience in ophthalmology. He underwent specialist ophthalmic training in London and the South East. His interest in corneal refractive surgery led to a research fellowship focusing on corneal wound healing mechanisms in laser refractive surgery at St Thomas’ Hospital, London with Professor John Marshall. His research in the field of corneal surgery led to a MD degree at the University of London with more than 20 peer reviewed publications in reputed scientific journals. Subsequently he underwent a 2-year corneal surgical fellowship at Moorfield’s eye hospital, London where he acquired extensive experience in newer techniques in corneal transplantation and excimer laser refractive surgery. He was appointed as consultant ophthalmic surgeon in 2007 and subsequently as Professor of ophthalmic and visual sciences to Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge in 2010, where he leads a team of researchers at the Vision and Eye Research Unit (VERU). He is presently the lead clinician for cataract and corneal surgery at Addenbrooke’s hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
