Founder & CEO
Ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist. PhD in Biomedical Science.
From her own practice in Costa Rica, Dr. Marissé Masís Solano witnessed a heartbreaking pattern. Patient after patient arrived with advanced cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal damage—conditions that could have been prevented with earlier detection. Many had waited months for appointments, traveled hours from rural areas, or simply couldn't afford regular eye care.
As an ophthalmologist with 15 years of experience, Marissé knew that half of all blindness cases were preventable. Yet the system was failing millions worldwide. With only one ophthalmologist for every 17,000 people in the US—and far fewer in developing nations—the traditional model of eye care simply couldn't scale.
In 2025, Iriscience was born from this vision. We started with a simple adapter that turns smartphones into ophthalmologic cameras. But the real breakthrough comes from rigorous scientific research and our unwavering commitment to ethical and safe AI applications.
"Because everyone deserves to see the world clearly."
From our headquarters at Cornell Tech in New York to clinics in Costa Rica and Mexico, we're proving that innovation can solve humanity's oldest problems. We're not just reimagining eye care for the digital age—we're making quality vision health a human right, not a privilege.
