At IRIS, we pride ourselves on being visionaries. With our finger on the pulse of optometry’s evolution, we provide the foundation for further innovation. This innovation is always done collaboratively with our Optometrists because at the heart of IRIS is its people.
IRIS Optometrists are highly valued for their skills and are given the opportunity to flourish professionally within the company. As a part of our recently developed Specialty Practices program, Optometrists can focus and further develop their area of interest throughout their eye care career.
