Our Eye Doctor in
North Des Moines

Dr. Claire Tangman earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Indianapolis, followed by her Doctor of Optometry from the Indiana University School of Optometry. Since then, Dr. Tangman has completed rotations in primary care, pediatrics, and Veteran’s Affairs, working with patients of all ages. She practiced in Colorado before moving to Iowa to join us here at Eyemart Optical Outlet.

Hailing from Seymour, IN, Dr. Tangman’s small town roots taught her to build close ties to her community, and that shines through in her eye care. She loves to meet new patients, get to know them and the local goings-on, and help them see their best with new glasses or contact lenses. Dr. Tangman is excellent at working with children and older adults, finding age and person-specific vision solutions.

Dr. Kirk Meints, O.D.

When she’s not taking great care of her patients, Dr. Tangman can often be found at home taking great care of her house plants! She also loves going on outdoor adventures in the area with her husband.
