IRIDEX Expects Total Revenue of $14.6M to $14.8M in 2025
Total revenue is expected to be between $14.6 million and $14.8 million compared to $12.7 million in the prior year quarter, representing year-over-year growth between 15% and 17%. "In 2025, we strengthened our financial position through focused cost reductions, gross margin expansion, and improved commercial efficiency, and increased probe sales," said Patrick Mercer, President and CEO of IRIDEX. "When we set and communicated our goals for 2025, we were clear about what we intended to accomplish-and in 2025 we delivered. The actions we took drove a fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, reduced operating expenses, and improved adjusted EBITDA. We achieved positive cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2025, and we expect to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025."

Iridex's MicroPulse Technology Effectively Lowers Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma Patients
- Clinical Study Results: An independent study at the University Eye Clinic Maastricht shows that retreatment with MicroPulse laser treatment (MicroPulse TLT) reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by 25% to 35% in glaucoma patients, demonstrating the technology's effectiveness and safety in glaucoma management.
- Treatment Flexibility: The study involved 76 eyes, with retreatment timing varying from approximately 4 months to over 28 months, showcasing the individualized management capabilities of the technology, allowing for flexible treatment adjustments based on patient responses.
- Success Rate of Repeat Treatments: Results indicate that patients who initially benefited from treatment have higher long-term success rates upon retreatment, aiding clinicians in better identifying candidates for retreatment and optimizing glaucoma management strategies.
- Company Strategic Commitment: Iridex CEO Patrick Mercer stated that the findings further validate MicroPulse TLT as a valuable non-incisional option, reflecting the company's strong commitment to advancing clinical evidence and supporting ophthalmologists in delivering durable outcomes for their patients.

Iridex Publishes Study on Thermal Dynamics of Laser Treatments for Glaucoma
- Research Findings: Iridex's newly published study provides the first quantitative comparison of thermal tissue effects between CW-TSCPC and MicroPulse TLT, revealing that CW-TSCPC creates a 2 mm thermal zone exceeding 100°C for 2.2 seconds, indicating potential risks in glaucoma treatment.
- Technical Advantages: MicroPulse TLT generates a smaller thermal zone of 0.6-1.2 mm with peak temperatures below 100°C, demonstrating its safety and uniform heat distribution, which may offer a safer option for earlier interventions.
- Clinical Significance: The study underscores the thermal continuum between the two techniques, suggesting that with further optimization, they could serve complementary roles in glaucoma management, enhancing treatment diversity.
- Company Commitment: Iridex CEO Patrick Mercer highlighted that this research reflects the company's commitment to evidence-based innovation in glaucoma care, aiming to improve treatment outcomes through a deeper understanding of laser interactions with ocular tissues.
