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.
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.
