Summary

Dr. Grace S. Shin immensely enjoys general ophthalmology and is one of only two fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologists in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Her peers and patients have repeatedly voted her a \"Top Doctor\" in ophthalmology. Dr. Shin is passionate about her profession and dedicated to providing exceptional care for the whole family--from newborns to grandparents.
\"I love to practice ophthalmology because it enables me to care for children and adults of all ages--often multiple generations of a family. During long-term patient relationships, I relish watching children grow up and keeping abreast of the evolution of my older patients.
I try to provide my patients with a clear understanding of their eye problem(s) using diagrams and models when possible. I advise parents, guardians, and caretakers of treatment options and recommend the course that I would pursue for my own loved ones, while respecting the choice that best fits their temperament and lifestyle (as long as it does not negatively impact vision). Having three children of my own, I possess great empathy and compassion for parents as they face difficult decisions or as their little one goes through surgery.
I find it gratifying to positively impact the sense of sight, to make a lifelong difference in how a child sees, and to greatly improve a person's quality of life. For example, I enjoy prescribing glasses to make the world clearer, straightening eyes to improve depth perception and self-esteem, and removing cloudy lenses (cataracts) to restore acuity and color vision. Working with a patient through a multi-step visual rehabilitation process yields an especially rewarding result.
I appreciate ophthalmology's balance between interesting medicine and delicate surgery. I am excited to work in this challenging specialty with rapid advances. I often share the privilege of integrating patient care with other medical professionals, including a host of subspecialists.\
