Jennifer C. Fan Gaskin is an Ophthalmologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. She looks after eye health for adults and children, with a focus on conditions that affect how the eye works day to day.
In her clinic, Jennifer helps manage problems like glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). These can creep up slowly and often don’t cause much pain at first, so regular checks really matter. She also supports people with pigment-dispersion syndrome, which can raise eye pressure for some patients over time.
Cataracts are another common reason people seek care. Cataracts can make vision cloudy, glare worse, and night driving harder. Jennifer also provides treatment planning for cataract removal when it’s needed, and she discusses what to expect before and after surgery.
At times, eye infections and inflammation bring people in urgently. Jennifer treats conditions such as endophthalmitis, which needs prompt attention to protect vision. She also deals with other less common eye issues, including ganglion cysts and bullae, depending on what’s going on and what the eye exam shows.
Some patients need specific procedures for long-term pressure control or vision protection. For example, trabeculectomy may be considered for certain glaucoma cases. Jennifer explains the situation in plain language, so you understand why a treatment option might be recommended and what the follow-up looks like.
Her approach is calm and practical. She works with patients who are dealing with changing symptoms, ongoing eye pressure concerns, or the worry that comes with a new diagnosis. In many cases, small changes in treatment and regular monitoring can make a big difference to comfort and eye health.
If you’re in Melbourne and looking for an ophthalmologist who can help with glaucoma, cataracts, ocular hypertension, or other eye conditions, Jennifer C. Fan Gaskin is there to support you through the assessment and care process.
