Prior to his consultant appointment, Rajen was a fellow in the field of glaucoma at Moorfields eye Hospital, London, where he gained extensive experience in the medical, laser and surgical management of glaucoma. Rajen is experienced in performing both traditional glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy and aqueous shunt implantation) as well as the newer minimal invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures such as the I-stent implant, hydrus implant, Xen implant and KDB glaucoma procedure. Furthermore, Rajen has performed several thousand cataract operation including complex cataract surgery (such as in patients with angle closure, pseudoexfoliation, previous glaucoma surgery) and for those patients requiring additional goniosynechiolysis (physically unblocking of the drainage angle by moving the iris away).

His main areas of research interest are angle closure, neovascular glaucoma and optimizing outcomes of glaucoma surgery.
