In this episode of Oracles of Eye Innovation, host Kris Morrill speaks with Daria Blumenthal, CEO of NanoDrop and former CEO of Belkin Vision, about legacy, leadership, and purpose-driven innovation in ophthalmology. Daria shares her deep personal roots in the field, from a family history shaped by displacement and resilience to her father’s pioneering work in cataract surgery and glaucoma care. She reflects on leading the development of DSLT, Belkin Vision’s acquisition by Alcon, and why she views exit not as the goal, but as a means to scale impact. The conversation explores startup leadership, working with physician-inventors, building strong boards, Israeli innovation culture, and Daria’s perspective as a female CEO leading with empathy, persistence, and what she calls “collaborative authority.”
