Published purpose
Bonsai Beta is a startup medical device company located in Edmonton, AB. 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.
