I have known Mr Pasu since the beginning of my career in ophthalmology and his support and advice was the first building block towards the rest of my training. He continues to demonstrate his kindness and compassion by founding the charity, The Guru Projects Foundation, to support vision care in the developing world. He matches this through his skills and experience in cataract surgery and medical retinal conditions, I highly recommend his services.
