About Michael J. Wojciak, O.D. Expertise I am an Optometrist with 21 yrs experience.
I currently practice primary eye care in Lombard & Schaumburg,
Illinois. I specialize in all types of contact lenses.
Please forward appropriate questions pertaining to eye exams, glasses or contact lenses only. I will always attempt to be as "specific" as I can on my answers. This is often difficult when the questions do not provide enough information or visual presentation is needed.
***I will reject any question involving self-prescribing of contact lenses or involving contact lens measurements/comparisons (such as changing base curves, measurement comparisons between brands etc). Contact lenses are a medical device and need to be properly fit by your Doctor. Also in respect for patient privacy, I will not answer third party questions, unless a parent or guardian is asking a question about their child.***
I appreciate your confidence.

Question My daughter was told yesterday that she has
"flat" eyes and I wasn't able to go with her to the exam. What exactly does that mean?
Answer Hi,
Are you saying because of her "flat" eyes you were not able to go into the exam room or they were not able to complete the exam on your daughter.
Either way, in my 2o plus years of practice I have never heard of such a thing. We often refer to flat corneas when we fit contacts, but not in the context you mention.
I hope this helps,
Dr. Wojciak
