Champion Eye Center
Champion, Harold A OD in Arden, NC offers a wide range of contact lens options, including bifocals, daily wear lenses, toric contacts, extended wear, and rigid gas permeable lenses, to cater to different lifestyle needs. They prioritize the health and shape of the eye to determine the best fitting lens, and carry popular brands such as AIR OPTIX, Acuvue, Biofinity, and PureVision. The practice emphasizes proper contact lens care and educates patients about the potential consequences of misuse, such as overwear, sleeping in lenses, or extending their lifespan. Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is a condition that can arise from improper contact lens use, where the inner surface of the eyelids becomes irritated and inflamed, resulting in the formation of large bumps (papillae) underneath the eyelid. Champion, Harold A OD highlights the importance of adhering to scheduled lens replacements and avoiding overwear, as well as the risks associated with sleeping in lenses. While contact lenses provide a convenient alternative to glasses, the practice emphasizes the need for responsible use to prevent more serious eye conditions and potential permanent reliance on glasses.Generated from the website
