Moore, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;He has spent his extensive career in the field of laser-based medicine and has had repeated success both developing and commercializing novel laser technologies.&nbsp;&nbsp;His experience will be vital as we continue to drive momentum worldwide for our Cyclo G6 laser system for the treatment of glaucoma.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Dr. Grove currently sits on the Nominating Committee of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Arbonne International.&nbsp;&nbsp;Most recently he served as Executive Chairman for the start-up ON Light Sciences, a manufacturer of transparent gel patches for accelerated tattoo removal that was acquired by Merz North America in 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was co-founder of TRIA Beauty and served as that company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to TRIA Beauty, Dr. Grove co-founded Star Medical Technologies, negotiated its acquisition by Coherent and continued as president of Coherent Star. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Dr. Grove&#8217;s extensive career in laser technology also included leadership roles at DermaCare, Inc., Cooper LaserSonics, Inc., and Plasma Kinetics, Inc.  Grove began his career as a project leader for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He then co-founded Plasma Kinetics, which was acquired by Cooper LaserSonics. Grove continued with the company as President of the laser products division. He then co-founded DermaCare, one of the first laser med-spas in the US.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">Grove holds a Ph.D. in Instrumentation in the field of laser applications and an M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT, as well as a B.S.in Engineering Physics from Cornell University.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:10pt;margin-top:0pt;text-indent:0%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">&#8220;On behalf of our Board of Directors, I thank Ann for her valuable service and contributions to IRIDEX.
