Ocutrx was founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma with one mission: to give people with low vision more of what their eyes can do. We are not a company built on optics for its own sake. We are a company built around a person, and then around the people like him.
That person was Brig. Gen. Richard Freeman — father of co-founder Mitch Freeman and grandfather of CEO Jordan Boss — whose vision had narrowed under age-related macular degeneration. The tools available to him weren't doing enough, so his family set out to build something better. When he put on the first prototype and the world opened back up, we knew the effort was worth pursuing.
That moment — one person, one pair of lenses, a wider field of view returned — remains the thesis. The work that began for him has carried further than we expected: into low-vision rehabilitation, into surgical visualization, and into applications that now reach from the operating room to orbit. We remain small, technical, and uninterested in hype. What matters is what the wearer can do once the lens is on.
