About Peek

1.1 billion people live with avoidable or preventable vision loss. This number is set to grow to 1.8 billion by 2050. The vast majority (90%) need just a simple pair of glasses or cataract surgery. So why do so many not have access to these simple, life-changing solutions?

Across the world, eye health professionals work tirelessly. But they face huge challenges. Resources are scarce, specialists are in short supply, patients don’t arrive at appointments and outcomes can be hard to track. Many people with vision loss don’t know a solution exists or struggle to reach care.  They remain invisible to health services.

Peek Vision is a social enterprise that works with NGOs and governments to bring vision and eye health to everyone. Our software and data intelligence platform strengthens health systems and optimises school, community and workplace eye health services.With Peek, eye health providers can identify gaps and inequalities in their services. People who would have been invisible to health workers or hard to reach are made visible, so that nobody is left behind.

By 2050, we aim to prevent 1.25 billion people from needlessly losing their eyesight.

We are dynamic, impact-driven and award-winning. Our products have been developed in collaboration with eye health providers, professional bodies and researchers. They reflect global best practices in health systems decision-making. We currently offer eye health providers:

Rapid assessments: Software and tools to help programme planners understand their populations’ eye health needs.

Peek-powered programmes: Software to implement, optimise and evaluate eye health services in schools and communities.

Peek is powering eye health programmes in multiple countries. Millions of people have their vision screened using Peek each year.
