For those history buffs

i-Lumen Scientific™ is a retinal biotech company, focused on developing a medical device therapy for patients with vision loss due to intermediate to advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We know, that’s a mouth full! 

Who doesn’t want to keep their eyesight? Close your eyes for a moment or look through a pair of glasses with a dark smudge in the middle. A smudge so dark you can’t see through it. Now imagine a day when circumstances change and that’s you. Following that your doctor told you, “That’s just the way it is, and it will only get worse!” AMD is the leading cause of vision loss for older adults, has no cure, and there are limited treatments options. Our goal is to change that.

Our Mission

i-Lumen ™ is working to change the status-quo by pioneering a new medical device field in ophthalmology intended to improve vision for AMD patients. This new therapy utilizes a revolutionary, non-invasive, medical device to potentially address a large unmet patient population in the practice of ophthalmology. 

Are you interested in joining us on this journey? If so, we’d like to tell you a bit more about ourselves.

Our Peeps

Our team includes problem-solvers, car enthusiasts, runners, animal lovers, concert goers, and world travelers who are dedicated to improving vision for those impacted by AMD. The cool thing is, some of us have worked together in the past and we actually like each other. We are passionate about finding great people to join our team. If you are eager to invest your time, talent, and energy in our goal of making the world better one eye at a time, we encourage you to read on!

It’s not just a job

If you have been in start-ups you know hat-wearing and communication are keys to success. As we hire, expand and execute a global clinic trial, we need a cohesive team of high performers, who take accountability, know what good looks like and can bring their “A” game each and every day. We don’t do group think, but rather welcome ideas and opinions to ensure the best path forward. Have an idea? Bring it! Have a better more efficient way to get from A to Z? Suggest it! Do you ensure safety and quality of work are uncompromising? Then i-Lumen may be the place for you!
