Prpic Eye Care Centre was founded in the Spring of 2021. We are the collaboration and hard work of two brothers that share the same passion for the profession of optometry and values towards patient care.

With an upbringing that valued hard work, honesty and integrity, Drs. Petar and Ivan Prpic have built their practice around these same principles. These principles, along with a sibling rivalry is what constantly pushes them to work harder, and to be better, striving to become a valued part of the Burnaby Heights Community, and also a valued part of your health care team.
