VINO OPTICS

Founder and CEO | 02/2012 - Current

The company emanates from a major 2006 discovery of his that primate red-green vision evolved for detecting oxygenation modulations of blood under the skin so that primates could see emotions, health and state. Out of that discovery, he and a colleague were able to patent the first (and only) optical filter technology that passively enhances visibility of these oxygenation modulations, as well as related technology. VINO OPTICS serves two main markets. (1) Medical personnel wear our vein glasses, protective eyewear that enhances visibility of veins and health signs. They also sell distinct technology that enhances visibility of bruising and blood pooling under the skin. Their vein glasses technology has been shown to work in the Journal of Emergency Medical Services. (2) Colorblind people wear one of their technologies, which enhances the signal that red-green vision is for, and that color deficients are deficient at. Unlike their competitors, their tech has been shown to aid colorblindness in Invest Ophth Vis Sci. In addition to CEO, Mark is also the director of marketing and PR, which has led to tens of thousands of sales, hundreds of testimonials, and coverage in hundreds of magazines and news stories, including the New York Times.
