Meet Dr. Shin

Dr. Michael Shin, O.D.

Your Partner in lifelong vision health

Dr. Michael Shin is an optometrist in Thornhill with over 25 years of experience providing comprehensive eye care to patients of all ages. He is committed to thoughtful diagnosis and long-term vision health.

Dr. Shin received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo in 1996 and earned his Doctor of Optometry degree in 2000 from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, Massachusetts.

Prior to establishing EyeWorld Optometry, Dr. Shin served as the primary optometrist at Scarborough Eye Associates for many years. During this time, he worked closely with renowned ophthalmologists, including Dr. Jordan Cheskes, Dr. David Assad of Scarborough Eye Associates, and Dr. Raymond Stein of the Bochner Eye Institute, providing collaborative care for patients with complex ocular conditions.

In 2013, Dr. Shin opened his own practice in Thornhill, EyeWorld Optometry. As a licensed optometrist, he provides comprehensive eye examinations, diagnoses, and treatment for a wide range of eye diseases and disorders.

Dr. Shin has a special interest in myopia management. He recognizes myopia as an emerging public health concern in the modern digital age, particularly among children and adolescents. High myopia is a significant risk factor for serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and glaucoma, and early intervention is critical in reducing these risks.

Dr. Shin is dedicated to staying current with the latest advances in eye health and vision care. He regularly attends continuing education seminars and advanced clinical training courses. Through this commitment to ongoing education, Dr. Shin ensures that patients in the Thornhill community receive modern, evidence-based, and progressive eye care.

Our Mission at

EyeWorld Optometry

Our Technologies

 

i.Scription® technology

Using the Zeiss iProfiler Plus, we are able to generate more accurate prescriptions for your corrective lenses. The iProfiler takes topographical map of your eye for precise and fingerprint-like prescription to achieve optimal eye glasses lens, RGP contact lens and Orthokeratology(Ortho-K) lenses.

 

Autoflourescent OCT     (Optical Coherence Tomography)

is an advanced imaging technology that provides highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, helping to detect and manage retinal conditions with precision. By utilizing autofluorescence, it highlights cellular changes in the retinal pigment epithelium, allowing the optometrist at EyeWorld Optometry to diagnose early signs of diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy before symptoms become apparent. This non-invasive technology enhances our ability to monitor retinal health over time, ensuring accurate assessments and personalized treatment strategies for optimal visual outcomes

 

Humphrey Perimeter

is state-of-the-art tool for visual field testing, essential for detecting and managing glaucoma and other vision disorders. With its detailed analysis of both central and peripheral vision, the Humphrey Perimeter helps the optometrist at EyeWorld Optometry monitor changes over time, supporting personalized care and treatment plans. This innovative technology ensures that our patients receive comprehensive assessments and that we can make informed, proactive decisions to protect and improve their visual health.

 

iCare Tonometer

The new iCare tonometer was developed by a doctor in Finland as an easy and patient-friendly method of measuring eye pressure. It uses unique “rebound” technology, in which a very light-weight tip is used to make momentary contact with the cornea. Anesthesia is not needed since the touch of the tip is so gentle and the measurement so quick that it is barely noticed by the patient. And there’s no loud startling noise to make you jump, either!
