Ken DauSchmidt, a 2016 graduate of the M.S. in Medical Device Innovation program, has developed an eye fatigue therapy wearable device. TearRestore can function hot or cold: as instant heat pack that applies a warm compress to improve eye lubrication/mitigate evaporation; or as a cold compress to decrease inflammation.

Ken DauSchmidt & Joseph Hendrickson, medical professional and medical device engineer, turn to alternative funding sources for new startup company, TearRestore™, which is taking on the pharmaceutical industry through developing a natural and convenient dry eye treatment.
