Vision For The Tomorrows

Serving our Southwest Kansas community since 1978.

Our Story

Founded in 1978 by Dr. Luther Fry, Fry Eye Associates is the largest ophthalmology practice in Southwest Kansas. Our three ophthalmologists and one optometrist strive to provide state of the art, comprehensive medical and surgical eye care to patients in the region and surrounding states.

Our primary clinic is in Garden City, KS with our surgery center conveniently located nearby. We also serve patients at a satellite locations in Colby, Kansas and Lamar, Colorado.

Our Founder - Luther Fry, MD

Originally from Montezuma, Kansas, Dr. Luther Fry returned to Southwest Kansas after completing his surgical training in 1978 at Kresge Eye Institute to open Fry Eye Associates. He was dedicated to staying on the cutting edge of the study and practice of ophthalmology by immersing himself in all aspects of research, surgical technique and technological advancements. A fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a diplomat of the American Board of Ophthalmology, Dr. Fry shared his knowledge and insights at conferences world-wide and gave countless lectures.

Having performed more than 40,000 cataract surgeries during his surgical career, Dr. Fry’s expertise was invaluable, not only to Fry Eye Associates, but also to the field of ophthalmology. After 45 years of caring for patients, he retired in 2023.

He was committed to providing excellent, affordable care to patients and supporting the growth of our community through philanthropic endeavors. Our physicians continue to carry on this legacy.

"All the staff were kind, courteous and knowledgeable. The atmosphere at the clinic and surgery center is professional, yet peaceful. Questions were answered quickly and competently. Couldn't have asked for better care."

I'm an established patient at Fry Eye but I was a new patient for Dr. Kimple. Dr. Kimple provided a great experience for me, he took his time with me performing multiple exams so he wouldn't miss anything. Despite the fact that I was one of the 2 last patients of the day, he never made me feel rushed whatsoever. After all his examinations he explained everything to me thoroughly and made sure I understood. He and Dr. Clifford are Angels. They're so kind!"

"I had a very good experience at my appointment with Fry Eye Associates. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Clifford was, as well. He explained his interpretation of my exam in a manner that was easy to understand. My wait time was short and from what I could tell from my observations in the waiting room, patients were moved through the appointment process smoothly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend."

“I recommend Fry Eye Associates to everyone I know. You are the most professional and caring people around. You will always be my first choice. Keep up the good work.”

"Considering allowing someone to operate on your only two eyes is a scary proposition. The Fry Eye team was worth my trust. I am very pleased with my results."

“High quality care by Dr. Luther Fry and Dr. Eric Fry, nurses, staff, and anesthesia. Thank you for caring! We are so blessed to have this surgery center in Southwest KS.”

"I am always pleased with the service at Dr. Fry's office. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain what he is doing during the exam and answers all of my questions. The young women who take my information are thorough and kind."

"All of the staff and Dr. Fry were so very congenial and pleasant to work with. They answered all of my questions and made me very comfortable with my upcoming surgery."

"Dr. Fry knows his stuff. I'm glad I chose him as my surgeon. It's been a pleasure."

“All the staff at Fry’s has been so wonderful, positive, enthusiastic, and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to explain thoroughly and make us feel comfortable. Very positive experience which we are grateful for. Thank you so much! A+++”

"The staff is so friendly and caring. Everyone we interacted with was a gem!"

"I was impressed at the promptness and courtesy of Dr. Clifford and all of the Fry Eye personnel. They seemed happy to work together!"

"Dr. Kimple is fantastic. Very at ease and a kind professionalism that is so appreciated."

"All I can say is “WOW” Our experience was the most amazing EVER. From the moment we walked through the door, EVERY staff member treated us like family & best friends. This facility is the most organized I’ve ever seen. We never waited longer than 5 minutes And the greatest surprise was when Dr. Clifford himself, called me at 8:40 pm, to check on my husband. He’s the only Dr I’ve known to do that, since “the good old days"
