Gurj is an outstanding doctor, in every respect. He is highly knowledgeable and uses this well to provide excellent care to his patients. As a surgeon, he is highly skilled in glaucoma surgery, complex cataracts and difficult surgical cases.

I was very fortunate to work with him and could benefit from his broad range of experience. He is a great colleague, and it was a pleasure to work with him. As a trainer, I have to say, he is excellent and I always found him very pleasant, approachable and available to discuss about the patients. Also, he was always supportive, efficient and confident when he was needed to intervene in any surgery that he was supervising.

Above all, he is a compassionate doctor that wants the best for his patients. Accordingly, he knows his patients very well and tailors his approach to their individual needs, he genuinely cares for them. He is the type of person who works relentlessly hard to improve patients’ outcomes. He is an inspiration, whilst still being approachable and I know colleagues and patients feel lucky to have received care and worked with him.

He is witty and make happy the people that are around him. His is very much missed!

David Garway-Heath is currently President of the European Glaucoma Society. In addition to his clinical work, he leads research in visual assessment and imaging at the Biomedical Research Centre of the UK National Institute for Health Research. The ‘Garway-Heath map’ that he developed has contributed to the understanding of structure- function relationship in glaucoma and the ‘Moorfields Regression Analysis’, a diagnostic algorithm that he developed for the HRT, has led to the widespread use of imaging in glaucoma management. He conducted the first randomized placebo-controlled trial to provide evidence for visual field preservation with an IOP-lowering drug, and the study design he used for the trial enabled a considerable reduction in the period needed to identify treatment effects.

Professor Garway-Heath has been recipient of several awards and has been consecutively cited as one of the 100 most influential people in ophthalmology worldwide in The Ophthalmologist magazine’s power list. He is also Vice President of the Imaging and Perimetry Society, Chair of the Membership Committee of the Glaucoma Research Society, and Workstream Lead for the design of the new Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology centre.
