Dr Tran completed her medical degree at the University of Queensland and moved to the UK to train in ophthalmology in Cardiff, WALES with some of the world’s leading ophthalmology surgeons.

Dr Tran later moved to Melbourne and completed a glaucoma fellowship at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (RVEEH), where she acquired subspecialist experience in management of complex glaucoma and challenging cataract surgery.
