Our History
Dr. Jack Seitz moved from St. George, Utah with his wife Mildred Seitz to Vernal to work as an optometrist (eye doctor) in Danes Optical, in October 1960. The office was originally located in the old Hotel Vernal on Main Street in Vernal, Utah. Dr. Jack took over the business and named it Seitz Eye Care shortly after starting at Danes Optical.
Dr. Jack had his second youngest child, Dr. Gordon Seitz, join with him at Seitz Eye Care after graduating from Southern California College of Optometry, the same school that Dr. Jack Seitz went to for studies in Optometry, later in 1990.
Dr. Neldon Seitz joined Seitz Eye Care with his older brother and his father after graduation from SCCO as well. They also had their brother-in-law & son-in-law Tod Tesar join the business as a board certified optician before Dr. Jack sold the three young men the business around 2001. Dr. Jack continued to work at Seitz Eye Care with his family until 2010 when he retired.
Dr. Jack Seitz has since passed away in May 2022, but his sons and son-in-law continue to run Seitz Eye Care.
Since October 1960 and continuing onward, Seitz Eye Care will be here for your eye care needs with the Tradition of Quality Eye Care & Products to suite your needs.
