RxSight, Inc. Appoints Raymond W. Cohen to Its Board of Directors

By: via GlobeNewswire

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: RXST) – RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today announced the appointment of Raymond W. Cohen to its Board of Directors.

“We are thrilled to welcome Raymond W. Cohen to the RxSight Board of Directors,” said J. Andy Corley, Chairman of the Board at RxSight. “Ray’s extensive track record in leading and scaling medical technology companies will be invaluable as we advance our strategy and enter the next phase of growth. His insights and guidance will help us expand the reach of the RxSight® Light Adjustable Lens system, enabling more physicians and patients to benefit from truly customized vision after cataract surgery.”

Mr. Cohen, an accredited public company director and accomplished medical technology executive, has over four decades of industry experience. He was the co-founder and chief executive officer of Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX) a global leader in implantable neuromodulation devices that completed its initial public offering in 2018. Under his leadership, Axonics generated over $1 billion in revenue within four years of its commercial launch, became profitable, earned recognition as the fastest-growing technology company in North America and was acquired by Boston Scientific in 2024 for $3.7 billion. In March 2025, Mr. Cohen, as chairman of SoniVie, Ltd., an Israeli clinical stage company, led the sale of that company to Boston Scientific for $600 million.

“I see tremendous potential for RxSight to get back on its growth track by strengthening its position in the premium intraocular lens market,” said Raymond W. Cohen. “Over the years, RxSight has demonstrated exceptional outcomes for cataract surgery patients with its groundbreaking RxSight Light Adjustable Lens system. I look forward to collaborating with the Board and management team to support the company’s mission to accelerate growth in revenue and profits.”

Cohen currently serves on the boards of several innovative healthcare companies, including Kestra Medical Technologies (Nasdaq: KMTS), where he is an independent director and chair of the compensation committee; InspireMD (Nasdaq: NSPR) as an independent director, as well as privately-held Nalu Medical as chairman, Archimedes Vascular as chairman, Tulavi Medical as vice chairman, and Spectrum Vascular as an independent director.
