dr.lenka champion

I started my ophthalmology practice to care for patients in a respectful and sincere way. I love helping my patients see better, empowering them to take control of their health, and caring for them like family. I welcome patients’ input and participation in their treatment.
I am a Board-Certified Ophthalmologist. I am experienced in Laser Cataract Surgery, LASIK/PRK, Glaucoma and General Eye Exams. I hold many industry certifications pertaining to those. I am on the active medical staff at the Department of Ophthalmology, St. Vincent’s Southside Hospital. I gained my ophthalmology experience working with the U.S. Navy at NAS Jacksonville, the University of Florida, and Shands Hospital in Gainesville. I have practiced ophthalmology in the Jacksonville area for the last 18 years, where I live with my husband, son and two dogs.
My education started by earning an International Baccalaureate diploma and graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Florida. I was awarded my Doctor of Medicine with Honors from the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville. While in medical school, I was nominated for membership to Alpha Omega Alpha, a national honor society. I also earned the HM Hill Scholarship, a merit-based award. I was accepted for internship at the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Medicine in 2001. My post graduate studies continued at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where I spend most of my time learning the techniques of advanced cataract, refractive surgery, and treatment of glaucoma.
I am an active member of several organizations including the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Florida Medical Society, Florida Society of Ophthalmology, and Duval County Medical Society. I continue to be actively involved in ophthalmology research on cataracts, and effects of systemic medications on cataract formation. I have also been an investigator in studies on diabetic and drug induced retinopathy. I am excited that you are considering my practice. My team is ready to care for you in a relaxed and personalized way. Welcome to Champion Eye!.

what our clients say

Health Grades

I arrived at the office, signed in and took a seat. They called my name a few minutes later. A skilled technician performed the usual tests, i.e., a vision test and eye pressures. I was taken to Dr. Champion's examination room. Soon, another technician checked my eye pressures. After a short wait, Dr. Champion arrived. She examined my eyes with a bright light and magnification. She also checked my eye pressures, which were good. Essentially, no appreciable change in pressures or changes inside my eyes. As usual, I felt the knowledge, care and accuracy of the examinations were excellent. It was a good visit.

Dr. Champion has been my ophthalmologist for over 10 years. She is an excellent physician and has treated me with the upmost respect and professionalism starting with my first visit. She is kind and considerate and makes me feel more like a welcomed individual instead of just another patient. She is never to busy to answer my questions and always try to reassure me when I am a little  anxious about what is going on with my eyes. The entire staff at Eye Consultant always conduct themselves in a very professional manner. And the technicians make a point of knowing you by name!
