Complex Vision & Ocular Disease Care in Carson City
Most eye problems don’t start with obvious symptoms. They develop slowly, and by the time something feels off, the change has already happened. Your eye exam can help detect subtle changes early. This lets us base care decisions on measurable findings, not only your daily symptoms.
A New Home | A New Name The Same Personal Care
Advanced Sierra Eyecare is preparing for an exciting next chapter: Optic Gallery of Carson City, at 104 Corbett Street.
Our new home will feature five exam rooms and an optical, bringing our medical eye care and personalized eyewear services together in a peaceful, welcoming space.
We’re creating a place where you can feel relaxed, heard, and cared for—where your eyes matter, and you matter as a person. Our goal is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived, with greater confidence in your vision and a clear understanding of your eye health.
We’re also excited to introduce Murphy, Dr. Seljestad’s son, who will serve as our lead optician as we open. A local artist who grew up in Carson City, Murphy has already been helping our patients with warmth and attentiveness. He looks forward to helping you choose glasses that support your vision, feel comfortable, and reflect your personal style.
As Advanced Sierra Eyecare becomes Optic Gallery of Carson City, our commitment to thoughtful, personal care continues. We look forward to helping you see clearly and enjoy more of the world around you.
We’ll share our opening date and moving details here soon. Our current location is the SEE Center at 3033 North Carson Street.
Specialty Scleral Lens Care for Eyes That Need More Than Standard Solutions
Many patients come to us after traditional glasses or contact lenses have failed to provide clear, comfortable vision. Using advanced corneo-scleral profilometry and precision diagnostics, we design custom scleral lenses for complex conditions such as keratoconus, severe dry eye, irregular corneas, and post-surgical vision complications.
Medical Vision Care & Disease Management
Dr. Seljestad has spent over 20 years managing conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. This care model focuses on progress. We track minor changes closely. We adjust treatment when needed.
Advanced imaging helps us see deeper parts of your eye. It includes OCT scans and visual field tests. These tests also help us track changes in your eye health.
Insurance & Payment Options
Eye care isn’t always straightforward when it comes to coverage. Some visits fall under medical insurance, others under vision plans, and the difference isn’t always obvious.
Our team will review your benefits with you.
Precision Diagnostics for Complex Vision Care
Every diagnosis begins with understanding how your eyes function, not just how clearly you see.
Advanced Sierra Eyecare uses technologies including corneo-scleral profilometry, OCT, wavefront aberrometry, retinal imaging, and functional testing to identify problems that may not appear during a routine eye examination.
Long-Term Management for Complex Eye Disease
From glaucoma and diabetic eye disease to macular degeneration, our approach focuses on careful monitoring, early intervention, and treatment decisions based on measurable change over time.
Dr. Seljestad is among the small number of Nevada optometrists credentialed to manage glaucoma, providing ongoing care that extends well beyond screening.
