We have developed a consumer medical device to help maintain the health of our eyes due to the growing use of digital devices and the increased prevalence of dry eye. Our device stemmed from a routine visit to an optometrist when a member of the founding team was diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), the leading cause of dry eye that affects over 30 million people in North America.

Description (French)
Bonsai Beta est une entreprise de démarrage d'appareils médicaux située à Edmonton, en Alberta. Nous avons développé un dispositif médical pour aider à maintenir la santé de nos yeux grâce à l'utilisation croissante des appareils numériques et à la prévalence accrue de la sécheresse oculaire. Notre appareil est le résultat d'une visite de routine chez un optométriste lorsqu'un membre de l'équipe fondatrice a été diagnostiqué avec le dysfonctionnement de la glande de Meibomian (MGD), la principale cause de sécheresse oculaire, qui affecte plus de 30 millions de personnes en Amérique du Nord.
