Dr Chamil Dayajeewa

Dr Chamil Dayajeewa is a well-qualified, experienced, competent Ophthalmologist based in Canberra with sub-specialty interests in cataract surgery, medical retina, and glaucoma.

He graduated from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka with honours, in the year 2000. Dr Dayajeewa then entered specialist training in Ophthalmology in Sri Lanka and completed his basic and advanced training in Ophthalmology in 2007.

Dr Dayajeewa undertook two years of further fellowship training in the United Kingdom in General Ophthalmology. There he gained experience in cataract surgery, glaucoma, and medical retina conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and uveitis.

Following his training in the United Kingdom, he returned to Sri Lanka to work as a General Ophthalmologist in a regional hospital.
