Dr. Tamara M. Kuhlmann earned both her Doctorate of Optometry and Master of Science in Physiological Optics from The Ohio State University College of Optometry in 1983. While in school, Dr. Kuhlmann specialized in specialty contact lens studies and disease evaluation and treatment. Dr. Kuhlmann is an associate professor at The Ohio State University. She has instructed students in clinical skills at the university, and at both the Veteran's Administration Outpatient Clinic in Columbus, and the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Chillicothe, Ohio.

Dr. Kuhlmann was the first eye doctor in Powell, Establishing EyeCare Professionals of Powell (previously Powell Eye Care) in 1987.

Dr. Kuhlmann was the first eye specialist in the area to be certified in the new non-surgical procedure of Corneal Refractive Therapy. This exciting new procedure is completely safe and reversible for all ages and may be helpful in arresting myopic progression in children. It can even improve a less than satisfactory laser surgical outcome.
