Mountain View Calif., July 20, 2018 — The award-winning series, Innovations with Ed Begley Jr., will feature IRIDEX Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) technology in an upcoming episode scheduled to air on CNBC on Sunday, July 22, 2018 at 3:30 ET.

In this episode, the show will explore IRIDEX’s patented MicroPulse® Laser Technology; a tissue-sparing solution for the treatment of retinal diseases and glaucoma, and IRIDEX’s latest laser, the CYCLO G6™ Glaucoma Laser. MicroPulse technology splits a continuous-wave laser beam into short, repetitive, low energy pulses separated by a brief rest period. The shorter exposure time allows the tissue to cool between laser pulses, helping to minimize and prevent tissue damage during ophthalmic coagulation procedures.
