Peek Vision
Peek Vision is a social enterprise which develops smartphone technology and public health tools to help eye health organisations improve their services. We work in low- and middle-income countries with health providers, NGOs and governments. Our vision is to bring better vision and health to everybody. Over a billion people worldwide have preventable or curable vision impairment and rates are rising. For most cases, there are simple, cost effective treatments like cataract operations or glasses, yet they are out of reach. Peek and its partners are breaking down the barriers to receiving eye health care for the people who need it most.
