About Dr. Shawn Burns

Shawn Burns, O.D., earned his Doctor of Optometry from the New England College of Optometry in 1999 and his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1995. Dr. Burns enjoys caring for patients of all ages. He shares, "One of my favorite things about Family Vision Center would have to be taking care of patients of all ages. At FVC, we see many patients who bring their family members and friends to our practice for their eyecare. Being able to connect with these people on both a professional and personal level, as well as seeing family members grow up and continue to see us for their eyecare, is probably the best part of my day." When not in the office, Dr. Burns loves spending time outdoors with his family and enjoys playing golf, hockey, and tennis. He lives in Milford with his wife and two daughters.
