Our Story
The Samuel and Barbara Masket Foundation was established over a decade ago with a mission to support groundbreaking artificial iris surgery research at Advanced Vision Care in Los Angeles, California. This innovative research addresses vision-related challenges caused by iris defects, significantly improving the quality of life for affected individuals. Through collaboration with leading experts, the foundation has been instrumental in the development and FDA approval of the artificial iris implant.
With the successful culmination of the artificial iris trial, the foundation has expanded its mission to provide comprehensive eye care services to underserved populations. By focusing on those who lack access to essential vision care due to financial constraints, the foundation aims to make a lasting impact on the community.
