With a wealth of knowledge and experience with optometry and medical devices, Ken's passion for developing new medical treatments that improve the lives of patients and physicians across the globe led him to found TearRestore.
Born in 2020, with the support of the National Science Foundation and under the advisement of industry leading clinicians, TearRestore has patented, developed, and commercialized FDA-approved treatments for Dry Eye Syndrome.

“To be a brand entrusted by Target and endorsed by Target Optical is a major accomplishment for TearRestore, further proving the superior effectiveness of our dry eye solutions,” says Ken DauSchmidt, co-founder and CEO of TearRestore. “By partnering with Target, TearRestore inches closer to achieving its goal of offering millions of patients suffering from Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) a more convenient and effective way to treat the condition.”
“We are thrilled with the results of the University of Colorado study. They further confirm that the TearRestore Mask offers patients an unparalleled experience by providing sustained heat and the ability to see throughout the treatment, which will improve efficacy and compliance,” says Ken DauSchmidt, co-founder and CEO of TearRestore. “No other thermal mask can provide this level of effectiveness.”
“By showing that the mask is effective in altering Meibomian gland secretions at a single visit, the study proves that this novel treatment could potentially offer the millions of patients suffering from MGD a more convenient and effective way to treat the condition,” DauSchmidt adds.
