About Peek

Over a billion people worldwide have vision loss but don’t need to and numbers are rising.  Simple, cost- effective treatments exist but specialists are in short supply and resources are limited.  Many people who need access to eye health remain invisible to services.

Peek Vision is an award-winning social enterprise that powers eye health providers in low- and middle-income countries to optimise their services and strengthen health systems.  Our software, programme design and data intelligence platform help eye health programmes become more efficient, more equitable and more effective. Users can screen for eye health conditions using just a smartphone, follow the patient journey from screening to treatment and view real-time data dashboards to identify where patients are being left behind.  People who would have been invisible to health workers are made visible, so that nobody is left behind.

Peek works in partnership with eye health providers, governments and NGOs. Together, we aim to make large-scale, sustainable improvements to health systems, bringing better vision and eye health to everyone.

Our tools include:

• Software for community and school eye health programmes that powers screening, data capture and analysis, plus the RAAB7 eye health survey platform
