Naturally Defined Professional Portrait
Dr. DeChamplain is an ophthalmologist and surgeon who prides herself on compassionate, personalized care for the full spectrum of ocular disease. Particular focus is given to cutting edge cataract surgery, including multifocal and astigmatism correcting lenses as well as minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries. She also has a special interest in medical retina, with significant experience in the management of exudative macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. With training under two oculoplastic specialists, Dr. DeChamplain’s patients with dermatochalasis, chalazia, and periocular skin lesions are in good hands. She speaks Spanish and has been independently tested at a Professional Level of fluency, with dedicated training in medical Spanish.

Dr. DeChamplain is known for excellent outcomes, incredible thoroughness, and for her unfailingly compassionate bedside manner. She was honored by her residency with the Clinical Excellence Award for always providing the kind of care she would want her own family to receive, and further recognized by UNC Health with the Robert C. Cefalo House Officer Award. This award is given to only five of nearly one thousand resident physicians each year who demonstrate outstanding empathy and communication; she was the first ophthalmologist to ever receive this honor.

As a published researcher certified in multiple surgical techniques, Dr. DeChamplain is committed to sharing her skills with the underserved both locally and abroad. She participates in surgical and laser-based medical mission trips and has committed to teaching the next generation of ophthalmologists through a relationship with the residency program at Eastern Carolina University.

Dr. DeChamplain was raised in rural South Carolina and has said that joining Waynesborough Ophthalmology “feels like coming home.” She is eager to serve the surgical and procedural needs of Johnston County and beyond. When she is not at work, Dr. DeChamplain enjoys cooking, reading, athletics, and of course spending time with her husband and children.
