While 95% wear soft contacts, RGP (rigid gas permeable) lenses are often the best choice:
✅ Safest & most comfortable when properly fitted
✅ Better for long-term eye health
✅ 50x more oxygen than soft lenses
✅ Last for years (better value!)
✅ Custom designed for ANY prescription

Why aren't they more popular? They require expert fitting skills vs. one-size-fits-all soft lenses.

Want to explore your best contact lens options? We specialize in custom fittings at Dr. Burke & Associates, Charlottetown!

Call us at 902-368-3001 or 902-892-1673 or schedule an appointment online.

Playing sports is all fun and games until an eye injury occurs. But there are ways to prevent accidents.

Protective eyewear in the form of glasses or goggles can provide the necessary protection. Helmets with face shields can help defend your eyes while playing high-impact sports like hockey, football, and lacrosse.

If you're looking for eye safety gear, we can help. Ask us about safety glasses during your next visit.

Call us at 902-368-3001 or 902-892-1673 or schedule an appointment online.

Crusty eyes or discharge? It might be more than allergies. Blepharitis, conjunctivitis, or dry eye could be the cause. Don’t ignore the signs—schedule an eye exam and get a comprehensive assessment to keep your eyes healthy!
