John A. Serri is a physicist-turned-entrepreneur and the co-founder, Chairman and CEO of EyeQue Corporation, a Newark, California company that turns an ordinary smartphone into a clinically registered eye-refraction device. With a PhD in Physics from MIT and 35 years spent building secure government networks and one of the world's largest satellite phone systems (Globalstar), Serri launched EyeQue in his 60s to make affordable vision testing available to anyone with a phone. Under his leadership EyeQue built its at-home Personal Vision Tracker on technology licensed from MIT, won CES 2017 Best of Innovation, amassed roughly 25 patents, and reached users in more than 150 countries.
EyeQue Corporation
EyeQue Corporation is a Newark, California digital-health company that turns an ordinary smartphone into a personal vision-testing lab. Built on optical technology licensed from MIT, its small clip-on devices and apps let people measure their own refractive error, pupillary distance and reading numbers at home for a fraction of the cost of a clinic visit, then use those results to order glasses online. Founded in 2015 by physicist John Serri and Zenni Optical's Tibor Laczay, EyeQue has won multiple CES Innovation Awards and raised more than $57 million to make eye care accessible to people who can't easily reach an eye doctor.
