Most of these programs require retina/iris photographs, which I feel extremely uncomfortable with.

Why? I've had that done, it is literally just a web-camera pointed at your eye. Takes two seconds, doesn't hurt, and is really no worse than having a "normal" photo taken (since it is a normal photo, just of your eye!).
Global Entry is just fingerprints.
As a Canadian, I have to go through NEXUS, which requires the iris photograph.
