Eye Care Associates of Wichita was started in 1948 by Dr. Lewis Smith. In 1968, Dr. Phillip Ernzen joined the practice. The doctors moved to the current location at 321 S. Hillside in 1979. They were leaders in the profession and both served as president of the Kansas Optometric Association (KOA). Drs. McCarthy, Eubank, Wise, Martin and McCarthy continue to provide quality eye care. Both Drs. McCarthy and Eubank were named Young Optometrist of the Year by the KOA, and Dr. Eubank served as president of the association from 2013-2014. Patients receive personal attention, thorough eye examinations, treatment with lenses, prism, contact lenses, as well as treatment of eye infections, ocular allergies, dry eyes, glaucoma, and monitoring retinal health due to systemic diseases such as diabetes. The doctors have great working relationships with local ophthalmologists if referral is necessary for situations that require surgery. Our optical department offers an excellent selection of quality, name brand frames, as well as the latest in spectacle lens technology.
