NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—NuEyes has secured a round of funding to fuel its growth in helping the legally blind live more independent lives. NuEyes works closely with Osterhout Design Group (ODG), a top developer of augmented, virtual and mixed reality smartglasses and the platform on which NuEyes technology sits.

The undisclosed funding amount was provided by strategic partners as well as early stage venture capital firm, Arab Angel, with offices in Abu Dhabi, New York and Washington, D.C.

"Working closely with our technology partner, ODG, NuEyes has been able to move rapidly to expand sales and distribution in both the U.S. and abroad, we have recently added to our team as well as having expanded our office at Fashion Island," said NuEyes CEO Mark Greget. "This funding will see us through to profitability, something extremely rare among AR firms at this point in the evolution of this industry."

NuEyes is a veteran owned technology company based in Orange County, Calif. that was launched in January 2016 to assist those suffering from eye conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa, via a mobile, wireless and lightweight solution. Over the last 18 months, the company has seen extensive sales growth and has won awards at CES and obtained government reimbursement for its devices.
