After 40 Years, a New Chapter for Ganly Vision Care November 10, 2026 | By Simon Eye Share Facebook X Linkedin Print Copy URL Prefer us on Google For longtime Kennett Square optometrist Dr. Ken Ganly, joining Simon Eye offered a way to plan for the future without stepping away from his patients or community. After 16 years in business, Dr. Ken Ganly began thinking about the future of Ganly Vision Care. He wasn’t ready to retire, but he wanted a succession plan that would allow him to spend less time running a business and more time caring for patients. He found that opportunity with Simon Eye, a regional network of optometry practices throughout Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania. For Dr. Ganly, Kennett Square has long been more than a place to practice optometry. A father of four sons, he has spent years coaching youth sports and giving back to the community through the Lions Club. His practice has been part of that same community for four decades. “I’m excited to partner with Simon Eye and the additional resources this partnership will bring,” Dr. Ganly said. “With more support for the day-to-day administrative responsibilities, our team will be able to spend more time focused on what matters most: providing excellent care to our patients.” Simon Eye now manages responsibilities such as billing, human resources, marketing and technology, allowing Dr. Ganly and his team to devote more attention to patient care. More Options for Patients The partnership is already bringing several changes to Ganly Vision Care. The practice now accepts a broader range of vision insurance plans, (including VSP), has expanded its eyewear selection and offers additional appointment availability, including Tuesday evenings until 7 p.m. Patients also benefit from Simon Eye’s broader network of optometrists, with nearby offices in Glen Mills and Pike Creek , both approximately 30 minutes from Kennett Square. These locations provide additional scheduling options, while referrals to trusted ophthalmologists remain available when patients need more advanced medical or surgical eye care. Throughout his career, Dr. Ganly has participated in clinical studies and lectured fellow eye care professionals on advances in contact lens technology. He continues to provide comprehensive eye care, including contact lens services, medical eye care, and myopia management for children. Planning for the Future Without Leaving the Practice For independent practice owners, planning for retirement or succession doesn’t always mean being ready to stop working. Simon Eye’s partnership approach allows established optometrists to continue practicing in their communities while gaining the resources and administrative support of a larger regional organization. For Dr. Ganly, the arrangement provides a succession plan while keeping him involved in the profession and community that have shaped much of his life. And for his patients, the most important things haven’t changed. Dr. Ganly, the other providers and the familiar team are still caring for patients at the Kennett Square office, now with additional resources and services available to them.
