amended.  The provisions of the Plan, accordingly, shall be construed so as to
extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of
that section of the Code.

be treated as continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other
leave of absence approved by the Company.  Where the period of leave exceeds 90
days and the individual's right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by
statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have
terminated on the 91st day of such leave.

participate in the Plan.

                 (b)      Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to
the extent, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person
whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of
the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding
options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the
Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent his or her rights to

subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at
the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time.

         4.      Offering Periods.  The Plan shall be implemented by
consecutive Offering Periods.  The first Offering Period shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall terminate on the last Trading Day of the month that is
six months from the Effective Date.  Thereafter, Offering Periods shall
commence on the first Trading Day following Exercise Date of the prior Offering
Period and shall terminate on the last Trading Day of the sixth month following

Department office not later than one day prior to the applicable Enrollment
Date.

                 (b)      Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence

payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable,
unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.





                                      -3-
   4

         6.      Payroll Deductions.

                 (a)      At the time a participant files his or her
subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made
on each pay day during an Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten
percent (10%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day
during the Offering Period.

                 (b)      All payroll deductions made for a participant shall
be credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole
percentages only.  A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.

                 (c)      A participant may discontinue his or her
participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, but may not
otherwise increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during
the Offering Period.  A participant's subscription agreement shall remain in
effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section
10 hereof.

                 (d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof,
a participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to 0% at such time during
any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year
(the "Current Offering Period") that the aggregate of all payroll deductions
which were previously used to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Offering
Period which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll deductions
accumulated with respect to the Current Offering Period equal $21,250.  Payroll
deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant's
subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is
scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the
participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

                 (e)      At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in
part, or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the
Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the
Company's federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock.
At any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the
participant's compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet
applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make
available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or
early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.

         7.      Grant of Option.  On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period (at
the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price.  In no event shall an Employee
be permitted to purchase on the Exercise Date of any Offering Period a number
of shares greater than, as of the first day of the Offering Period, two times
the Employee's initial payroll deduction amount times the number of





                                      -4-
   5
payroll periods in the Offering Period divided by the per share Fair Market
Value.  Moreover, no Employee shall be permitted to purchase more than 1,000
shares in any twelve-month period.  All such purchases shall also be subject to
the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof.  Exercise of the
option shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has
withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and shall expire on the last day of
the Offering Period.

         8.      Exercise of Option.  Unless a participant withdraws from the
Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of
shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum
number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant
at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his
or her account.  No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll
deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to
purchase a full share shall be carried over in the participant's account into
the next Offering Period.  During a participant's lifetime, a participant's
option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

         9.      Delivery.  As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date
on which a purchase of shares occurs, the shares shall be credited to an
account in the participant's name with a brokerage firm selected by the Plan
Committee to hold the shares in it's street name.

         10.     Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

                 (a)      A participant may withdraw all but not less than all
the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to
exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time up to two weeks prior to
any Exercise Date by giving written notice to the Company in the form of
Exhibit B to this Plan.  All of the participant's payroll deductions credited
to his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly after receipt
of notice of withdrawal, such participant's option for the Offering Period will
be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase
of shares will be made during the Offering Period.  If a participant withdraws
from an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning of
the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a
new subscription agreement.

                 (b)      Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee (as
defined in Section 2(g) hereof) for any reason, he or she will be deemed to
have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to
such participant's account during the Offering Period but not yet used to
exercise the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his
or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 14
hereof, and such participant's option will be automatically terminated.  The
preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in lieu
of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to be an
Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per week of employment
during the period in which the participant is subject to such payment in lieu
of notice.

                 (c)      A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period
will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any
similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the





                                      -5-
   6
Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination
of the Offering Period from which the participant withdraws.


         11.     Interest.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions
of a participant in the Plan.

         12.     Stock.

                 (a)      The maximum number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be one
hundred thousand (100,000) shares, subject to adjustment upon changes in
capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18 hereof.  If on a given
Exercise Date the number of shares with respect to which options are to be
exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the
Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for
purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall
determine to be equitable.

                 (b)      The participant will have no interest or voting right
in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

                 (c)      Shares to be delivered to a participant under the
Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.

         13.     Administration.

                 (a)      Administrative Body.  The Plan shall be administered
by the Board or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board.
The Board or its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary
authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine
eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan.  Every
finding, decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall,
to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

                 (b)      Rule 16b-3 Limitations.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), or any successor provision ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific
requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be
administered only by such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.

         14.     Designation of Beneficiary.

                 (a)      A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash.  In addition, a
participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive
any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event





                                      -6-
   7
of such participant's death prior to exercise of the option.  If a participant
is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent
shall be required for such designation to be effective.

                 (b)      Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice.  In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known
to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

         15.     Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option
or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant.  Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

         16.     Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions received or held by the
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose,
and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

         17.     Reports.  Individual accounts will be maintained for each
participant in the Plan.  Statements of account will be given to participating
Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of
payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the
remaining cash balance, if any.

         18.     Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

                 (a)      Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the Reserves as well as the price
per share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not
yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company;
provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration".
Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein,
no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares
of Common Stock subject to an option.

   8

                 (b)      Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period shall
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless
otherwise provided by the Board.

                 (c)      Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a proposed
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of
the Company with or into another corporation, each option under the Plan shall
be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the
Board determines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such
assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period then in progress by
setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date") or to cancel each
outstanding right to purchase and refund all sums collected from participants
during the Offering Period then in progress.  If the Board shortens the
Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify each participant in
writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that
the Exercise Date for his option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that his option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date he has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided
in Section 10 hereof.  For purposes of this paragraph, an option granted under
the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or
merger, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of
option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the sale of assets or
merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property)
received in the sale of assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each
share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the transaction (and if
such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the sale of assets or
merger was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent
(as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of
the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation
or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock and the sale of assets or merger.

         The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the
price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the
event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations,
rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding
Common Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged
into any other corporation.

         19.     Amendment or Termination.

                 (a)      The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
and for any reason amend or terminate the Plan.  Except as provided in Section
18 hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted.  Except
as provided in Section 18 hereof, no amendment may make any change in any
option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
participant.  To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 or under
Section 423 of the Code (or





                                      -8-
   9
any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law or regulation), the
Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree
as required.

                 (b)      Without shareholder consent, the Board (or its
committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the
frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars (with respect to participants who are not
United States residents), permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount
designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the
Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections (provided,
however, that the Company may not withhold more than the aggregate amount of
payroll deductions designated to be withheld by a participant in any Offering
Period), establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting
and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of
Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld
from the participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or
procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion
advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

         20.     Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant
to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have
been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the
location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

         21.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be
issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the
issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed,
and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

         As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require
the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

         22.     Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by
the shareholders of the Company.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten
(10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 19 hereof.

                       1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT


_______ Original Application        
        Enrollment Date: __________
_______ Change in Payroll Deduction Rate
_______ Change of Beneficiary(ies)

1.       _____________________________________ hereby elects to participate in
         the Iridex Corporation 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
         "Employee Stock Purchase Plan") and subscribes to purchase shares of
         the Company' s Common Stock in accordance with this Subscription
         Agreement and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.       I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount
         of ____% of my Compensation (not to exceed 10%) on each payday during
         each Offering Period, in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan.  (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.       I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
         purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
         determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  I
         understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
         accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically purchase
         such Shares.

4.       I have received a copy of the complete "Employee Stock Purchase Plan."
         I understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
         is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.

5.       Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should
         be issued in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and Spouse Only):
         __________________________________________

6.       I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant
         to the Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of
         the Offering Period during which I purchased such shares), I will be
         treated for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary
         income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the
         excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such shares
         were purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares.  I
         hereby agree to notify the Company in writing within 30 days after the
         date of any disposition of shares and I will make adequate provision
         for Federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which
         arise upon the disposition of the Common Stock.  The Company may, but
         will not be obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount
   11

         necessary to meet any applicable withholding obligation including any
         withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax
         deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
         Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after the
         expiration of the 2-year holding period, I understand that I will be
         treated for federal income tax purposes as having received income only
         at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as
         ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of
         (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of
         such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for the shares,
         or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on the first day of
         the Offering Period.  The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on
         such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.       I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan.  The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent
         upon my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase
         Plan.

8.       In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
         beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
