“Of all your experiences with innovation and invention, which venture has been your favorite?”
John P. Berdahl, MD: “The one that occupies the biggest part of my heart and mind is probably Equinox, which has also been the toughest one. It’s different from everything else. One of the challenges with any startup company—and certainly Equinox—is that they have near death experiences. We’re going to see if we can figure out a way to take another shot on goal because we believe that the technology can help glaucoma patients.” —Cataract & Refractive Surgery Today
