Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by IRIDEX Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 1,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) reserved for issuance under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner described in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany each grant under the Plan, the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

Very truly yours, |
