Dr. Sharmin Habib

A practicing optometrist, entrepreneur and licensed yoga instructor, Dr. Sharmin Habib enjoyed a convergence of worlds when her brother came to her with dry eye symptoms. The standard treatment involves applications of hot wet cloths, a procedure patients (including her brother) typically abandon after a few tries. An idea in mind, the pair applied for and received a grant to develop a new device that aids in soothing dry eye symptoms, but also helps create a relaxing, meditative timeout for the user.
