Professor Gene de Juan Jr has an incredible lifetime of innovations and inventions where great ideas are turned into ophthalmology practice. In this episode we talk about his time at Duke University (with the father of vitrectomy, Prof Robert Machemer), the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, and Doheny Eye Institute at the University of Southern California (USC). He is now a professor at UCSF and he leads ForSight Labs. You have certainly enjoyed using his inventions from small gauge vitrectomy, to retinal disease, to glaucoma shunts, and much more. He has helped found so many ophthalmology companies: Azura, Second Sight (NASDAQ:EYES), InnoRx (acquired by Surmodics), NeoVista (acquired by Orya), Retina Lab (acquired by Iridex), Transcend Medical (acquired by Novartis), ForSight VISION 1- 6: ForSight VISION 2 (acquired by QLT), ForSight VISION 4 acquired by Genentech/Roche), ForSight VISION5 (acquired by Allergan).
