What NuEyes Technologies Inc. does

NuEyes Technologies Inc. is a privately held, veteran-owned AR smart glasses developer founded in January 2016 by U.S. Navy veteran Mark Greget and headquartered in Newport Beach, California. The company designs and sells lightweight augmented reality eyewear — the Pro 3, Pro 3e (68g), Pro 4 (102g, 5G-enabled, with a DoD/Federal variant), and the forthcoming NuLoupes surgical/dental loupe — that use tethered Samsung Galaxy phones as the compute platform to deliver digital stereopsis, sub-millimeter depth perception, continuous magnification, computer-vision magnification and contrast enhancement, and (via the NuCaption module) real-time speech-to-text captioning for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. All product lines are assembled in the USA.

The company serves four primary customer segments: individuals with low vision or legal blindness (addressing macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, and similar conditions), medical and dental professionals (via NuLoupes launching late 2025), enterprise and industrial users in engineering, warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, field services, education, and automotive (via Pro 4 remote-assistance and guided workflows), and federal/defense customers (via the DoD/Federal Pro 4 variant). Distribution runs through direct-to-consumer e-commerce, the Veterans Administration Blind Rehabilitation clinics, local eye-care professionals and distributors for try-before-you-buy demos, enterprise direct sales, an exclusive multi-year distribution agreement with Innovative Optics covering Dermatology/Plastic Surgery/Aesthetics/Industrial markets with a 24,000-unit MOQ, and insurance reimbursement pathways across UHC AT&T CarePlus, BlueCross/BlueShield, Humana/Tricare, United Federal Insurance, the VA, and State Departments of Rehabilitation.

NuEyes monetizes primarily through hardware sales, bundled offerings (Pro 4 Smart Bundle including Samsung phone, patented software, 2-year support, OCR, text-to-speech), software subscriptions for NuCaption, insurance reimbursement, and prospective app/licensing revenue from the NuLoupes ecosystem; financing is provided through Denefits with down payments as low as $649 and 3–60 month terms. Strategic technology partners include Samsung (compute), Unity (Gold Authorized Reseller for XR content), T-Mobile (5G channel), and Dolphin Medical Imaging (ultrasound integration). The team is small (1–10 employees) with leadership including CEO/founder Mark Greget, President of Operations Regina Chatman, and CMO/Board member Dr. Andrew Fanous (MD, FAANS).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Magic Leap: Magic Leap produces enterprise-focused mixed-reality headsets with AR visualization for healthcare, manufacturing, and defense. It competes with NuEyes on enterprise AR workflows and surgical/medical visualization roadmaps.

Direct peers

• IrisVision: IrisVision provides AR-assisted smart glasses for low-vision conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma, including FDA-registered software. It competes head-to-head with NuEyes Pro 4 in optometry clinics and consumer accessibility channels.
• OrCam Technologies: OrCam makes wearable AI devices (MyEye, Read) for blind and low-vision users that read text, recognize faces, and identify products. It overlaps NuEyes' accessibility use cases via a different form factor (clip-on camera rather than head-mounted display).
• eSight: eSight makes wearable AR/electronic video magnifiers for people with central vision loss (e.g., macular degeneration). It is the closest direct competitor to NuEyes' Pro 4 low-vision configuration, serving the same patient population and reimbursement pathways.
• Zoomax Technology: Zoomax manufactures electronic video magnifiers and wearable low-vision aids, including portable and head-worn devices. It is a long-standing direct competitor in the consumer and clinical low-vision assistive device market.
• SurgiTel / Orascoptic: SurgiTel and Orascoptic are established surgical/dental loupe and headlight manufacturers. They are the most direct competitors to NuLoupes in the magnification-and-illumination category that NuEyes is entering with continuous 1x-13x variable magnification.

Broad incumbents

• Vuzix Corporation: Vuzix is a publicly listed AR smart glasses manufacturer with enterprise, medical, and defense product lines. It competes with NuEyes Pro 4 and NuLoupes at the platform level, offering broader OEM-grade hardware rather than a single vertical focus.
• RealWear: RealWear builds ruggedized assisted-reality wearables for industrial field service, remote assistance, and training. It overlaps NuEyes' enterprise remote-assistance and guided-workflow offerings for warehouse, manufacturing, and field-service customers.
• Microsoft (HoloLens / Dynamics 365): Microsoft HoloLens and Dynamics 365 Remote Assist target enterprise and defense AR use cases including hands-free guided workflows and remote expert support — the same enterprise verticals NuEyes addresses with Pro 4.
• Carl Zeiss Meditec (Surgical Microscopy / loupes): Carl Zeiss Meditec is a global incumbent in surgical visualization, loupes, and ophthalmic devices. It is the dominant scaled incumbent that NuLoupes will need to displace in surgical and dental visualization.
