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!

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.

You may not realize it, but some common habits might be harming your eyes.

- Rubbing your eyes can introduce bacteria, cause irritation, or even scratch the surface of your eye.

- Skipping sunglasses exposes your eyes to harmful UV rays, even on cloudy days, which can increase your risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration.

- Even too much screen time can cause eye strain and discomfort.

Try using eye drops, wearing UV-blocking shades, and following the 20-20-20 rule for screens. Protect your eyes—small changes make a big difference!
