Science is growing faster than ever. Technology is increasing, equipment is more precise than ever, and the breadth of knowledge available to doctors and innovators makes progress an exciting adventure. Dr. Ehsan Sadri is co-founder of Visionary Ventures. This venture’s capital fund focuses on a progressive approach to ophthalmology, investing in start-ups that present novel solutions for patients. 

He is a first-generation Iranian American and the first in his family to become a doctor. He is a board-certified laser eye surgeon based in Newport Beach, CA and has been practicing since 2004. Visionary Eye Institute was founded on the heels of the pandemic. “I’m always fascinated with how to make patients see better and have the best experience,” he says of his passion for innovation. 

Dr. Sadri and his associates utilize the venture fund to help influence the direction of ophthalmology, recognize patients’ unmet needs, and fill in the gaps in care. His passion for helping people to regain clear vision grew organically into something that will impact a broader group of patients than limiting it to those who walk through the doors of his clinic. Dr. Sadri has taught over 300 peer-reviewed lectures around the world. 

He also hosts a nonprofit that works internationally to provide free eye surgeries for people who cannot afford them. 

His unique approach to business has helped him leverage his mentality in a way that supports forward motion and progress. He believes in the “lunchbox mentality” that helps him stay grounded and focused on doing the hard labor of love within his industry. “Success means ‘the progressive realization of a worthy ideal…’” He quotes Earl Nightingale as he references his desire to provide novel solutions for vision patients throughout the industry.  

Dr. Ehsan Sadri is well-respected and considered a thought leader in his field. He speaks at many Ophthalmology conferences and focuses on progressive, leading-edge techniques and technology to best serve vision patients. His experience and expertise allow him to educate eye surgeons on vision preservation and correction. He plans to incorporate additional eyecare products into his repertoire, including sunglasses, eye creams, and blue-blocker glasses.
