The success of this philosophy is ensured by the knowledge and experience of our Board Certified Ophthalmologists and our commitment to providing you with the highest quality solutions designed for your individual visual needs.
The eye care tradition at Shoreline Vision began with five ophthalmologists forming a group practice. The formation of the group allowed the physicians to work together in offering the Muskegon and Tri-Cities residents the best possible vision care available.
For over 50 years the physicians, specialists and employees of Shoreline Vision have been providing the citizens of Muskegon, the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas excellent vision care.
As witnessed by the long and dedicated history in our communities, our organizational objective remains the same: to be the premier, fully-integrated regional eye care provider with the mission of preserving and improving vision.
Our team includes Board Certified Ophthalmologists, Board Certified Specialists, and Licensed Optometrists.

A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens inside your eye. This lens, located behind the iris, works just like the lens of a camera – focusing light images on the retina, which sends images to the brain. A cataract can be the reason sharp objects become blurred, bright colors become dull, or seeing at night is more difficult. It may also be why reading glasses or bifocals are used to help you no longer seem to be effective.
Vision with cataracts has been described as seeing life though an old, cloudy film. Eye injury, certain diseases, or even some medications can cause clouding, but the majority of cataracts are simply the result of the natural aging process.
The best way to treat a cataract is with surgery that removes the old, clouded lens and replacing it with a new, artificial lens to restore your vision and, in many ways, significantly improve your quality of life.
We offer Monofocal, Toric, Tri-focal and Multifocal Advanced Technology lenses to meet any of your unique vision needs.
schedule nowToday, IOLs are available as monofocal lenses (correcting vision for one distance), accommodating lenses (correcting for near, far, and intermediate vision), toric lenses (astigmatism correcting), and multifocal lenses (correcting for near, far, and intermediate vision).
Symfony® IOL is the first lens of its kind to combine two unique technologies for outstanding visual performance: an Extended Depth of Focus IOL provides a continuous range of high-quality vision from near to far and points in between and may reduce the frequency of wearing glasses. Symfony Toric intraocular lens compensates for corneal astigmatism as well as a range of continuous vision including distance and near.
The Alcon Acrysof® Toric intraocular lens compensates for corneal astigmatism. This lens does not allow for continuous vision including near but can provide exceptional distance vision.
The AcrySof® ReSTOR® intraocular lens (IOL) is an artificial lens that can restore a patient’s full range of vision while reducing a patient’s dependence on bifocals or prescription reading glasses.
