Glaukos Corporation
<p><span style="font-size:14.666666984558105px">Glaucoma is a general grouping of eye diseases that impact the optic nerve, resulting in progressive vision loss.

Sironis
<p>Joe Rinehart's path to UCI as a physician, researcher, entrepreneur and mentor dates back to his early days in high school, where an influential biology teacher and his father's IBM 286 computer served as catalysts for two of his core passions--science and software. Throughout college and into medical school where Rinehart chose anesthesiology as his specialty, he was always learning software and programming concurrently. Rinehart shared, "I chose anesthesiology because [it] had intimate contact with monitors and it seemed like [access to devices], and hands-on [approach to medicine] was a great marriage with my software background. I saw that there might be some potential to work those two things together."</p>
