Dr Jane Khan (MBBS FRCOphth FRANZCO MD) started her ophthalmic training in the UK in 1996. This was followed by overseas clinical experience in New Zealand and Pakistan. The Pakistan trip provided an opportunity to understand the burden of eye disease in a developing country along with once-ina-lifetime experiences including climbing to K2 base-camp. She returned to the UK to complete her surgical specialty training at Cambridge where she also undertook a research degree. She was successful in gaining her research MD with her thesis, 'Environmental and genetic risk factors for Age-related macular degeneration' in 2005, and she has now published widely in this area. She finally found herself in Perth undertaking advanced fellowship training under Professor Ian Constable in 2006.
She is an experienced cataract surgeon, specialising in cases with ocular co-morbidity. She has continued clinical interests in macular disease, diabetic retinopathy, retinovascular disease and inherited retinal disease.
Jane is a Clinical Senior Lecturer, Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science, UWA. She is a member of the Physiology Basic Science examination board at the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of ophthalmologists. Current research interests include the study of toxic agents affecting retinal function and inherited retinal macular disease.
Jane continues to enjoy bush and mountain hiking. She runs and swims to keep fit and has been known to do the occasional triathlon and marathon. She also skis whenever the opportunity arises, along with her husband and 3 children who are all keen down-hill and touring skiers.
