McCafferty is an extraordinary optical and mechanical engineer, eye surgeon and businessman with a relentless desire to improve ophthalmic treatment worldwide. In the Tucson community, he is known for his successful ophthalmology practice. But people worldwide who suffer from serious eye diseases could benefit from his innovations in optics, mechanics and medicine.
McCafferty earned an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering in 1991 and completed medical school in 1996. In 2009, fascinated with optics technologies, he applied to the graduate program at the College of Optical Sciences, and after six years of balancing his practice, studies, research, and a growing family, he had not only earned a master's degree but also founded three companies developing innovative products in ophthalmology and optics. Today, Intuor Technologies is developing products related to the detection of serious eye diseases, improving the lives of those with cataracts by developing accommodating intraocular lenses, and addressing industry and consumer needs through the development of a variable zoom, micro camera lens system.
