Raised on a farm full of animals and birds, Dr. Kasturi decided to be a vet early on. After graduating from Bombay veterinary college in the year 2004, she worked at the racecourse to gain more experience with horses. Dr. Kasturi always aspired to be a surgeon and hence she joined a master’s program in veterinary surgery at Bombay veterinary college in 2004. During her masters, she developed a keen interest in veterinary ophthalmology. At the time there was no vet working in ophthalmology and hence a lot of animals were left with no option but to go blind. This inspired Dr. Kasturi to pursue this field further. With the help of a renowned Human ophthalmologist, she completed her thesis is cataract surgery in dogs, and never looked back.
