Our Mission

To end all instances of preventable blindness.

IRIS was founded by a retina specialist who saw a problem not just in his practice, but in the world and knew he wanted to fix it. What grew out of that mission is what you have today: A company committed not to making money by selling devices but to ending all instances of preventable blindness in the U.S. with life-saving technology.
