About Me

Dr. Martin S. Arkin is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and anterior segment diseases. He earned his medical and doctoral degrees from Washington University and completed ophthalmology residency at Harvard's Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, followed by a cornea fellowship at Tufts University. He treats a range of conditions affecting the cornea and anterior eye, including cataracts and corneal disorders.

Dr. Arkin was drawn to ophthalmology because of the ability to restore vision through cataract extraction and laser techniques. He has extensive experience in refractive surgery, medical and surgical cornea, and phacoemulsification. In addition to his clinical practice at Bay Eye Associates in Traverse City, he has participated in surgical mission trips to India, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, providing sight-restoring care to underserved communities.
