Oded Arnon completed his Ph.D. in 1978 at the Institute of Optics, the University of Rochester, New York, with special interest in optical coatings and lens-design. While working at El-Op - Electro Optical Industries Ltd. (1979-1988) he used these two fields to develop Holographic Optical Elements (H.O.Es) for the "TFILA" project – an innovative helmet-mounted display for aircraft pilot. He studied physics B.Sc degree at the Tel-Aviv University, 1970,
and Applied Physics M.Sc degree at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, 1973.

​

Since 1989 Oded is consulting optical engineering to companies in Israel in a wide variety of fields including: VR displays, mobile-lens and applications, medical technologies, defense systems, microelectronics, consulting investment in optical projects, and more.

In recent years he developed an algorithm to a-priory relax the tolerances of a lens during the optimization stage. He teaches lens design in the graduate school of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
