CataractCoach Podcast 50: Firas Rahhal MD

Episode 50,   Mar 10, 10:00 AM

Firas Rahhal MD is a vitreo-retinal surgeon in Los Angeles who has a deep expertise in clinical trials, particularly for posterior segment disease. Like many of us, he used to lend his expertise to investment firms as they sought to invest in the ophthalmology space. More than a decade ago he realized that instead of giving away such precious knowledge for an hourly rate, it was better to become the investor. As ophthalmologists we have a deep and profound understanding of everything related to the eye and it is logical for us to invest in the future of ophthalmology.

Full disclosure: I am personally invested with ExSight Ventures and I have had a great experience working with their team.
