This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed on behalf of (i) Paragon Associates and Paragon Associates II Joint Venture, a joint venture (“Paragon JV”) formed by
Paragon Associates, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Paragon”), Paragon Associates II, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Paragon II”), and Paragon Associates III, Ltd. a Texas limited partnership (“Paragon III”), (ii) Paragon JV Partners, LLC, a
Texas limited liability company (“Paragon GP”), and (iii) Bradbury Dyer III (“Mr. Dyer”, and collectively with Paragon JV and Paragon GP, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment further modifies the original Schedule 13D filed with the Securities

Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2013, as amended by the Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2015, as amended by the Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2015 (the Original 13D, as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) of Iridex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
This Amendment relates to Common Stock sold by Mr. Dyer for the account of Paragon JV on behalf of Paragon, Paragon II and Paragon III. Paragon GP serves as the general partner of
each of Paragon, Paragon II and Paragon III and as the investment advisor of Paragon JV and may direct the vote and disposition of the 1,138,378 shares of Common Stock held by Paragon JV. As the sole and managing member of Paragon GP, Mr. Dyer may
direct Paragon GP to direct, and, as the authorized agent to Paragon JV, may direct, the vote and disposition of the 1,138,378 shares of Common Stock held by Paragon JV.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) As of April 13, 2021, Paragon JV, by virtue of carrying out the purposes of Paragon, Paragon II and Paragon III per the
