David X. Nayagam is an ophthalmologist based at 384-388 Albert Street, East Melbourne, VIC 3002. His work is in eye health, with a steady focus on people dealing with inherited and slow-changing retinal problems. You may come in because your vision has changed gradually, or because tests have shown an ongoing condition in the retina.
In many cases, retinal diseases can be confusing and worrying. Conditions linked with retinitis pigmentosa and retinopathy pigmentary mental retardation can affect night vision first, then later the side vision and overall clarity. Late-onset retinal degeneration can also show up later in life, which is a big reason people seek help—because the changes can feel sudden, even when they’ve been building over time.
David looks after patients who want clear answers and practical next steps. He understands that every person’s experience is a bit different. Some people have only mild changes early on, while others notice more day-to-day impact sooner. At times, families also need support in understanding what the results mean for future care and everyday life.

If you’re managing symptoms, adapting to vision changes, or just trying to understand the findings, you can expect a calm, down-to-earth conversation.
David’s approach comes from working in ophthalmology and caring for people with these specific retinal conditions. He aims to keep things straightforward—what’s happening in the eye, what the likely outlook is, and what can be monitored going forward. If you’re in East Melbourne and looking for an eye specialist who understands retinitis pigmentosa, retinal degeneration, and related retinal issues, he’s based locally and ready to help.
