We work in partnership with a variety of organisations on research, but we are a small team and unfortunately can’t support formal partnerships with everybody who would like to work with us. Wherever possible Peek solutions are free or low-cost to make them as accessible as possible. If you would like to conduct a research study using Peek, please read about our Research and if you have any questions contact us.

Peek Vision is not affiliated with the WHOeyes app. WHOeyes is a standalone app from WHO designed to be used by members of the public to test their own vision. It does not include any data collection or integration with other software. Peek’s main products are large-scale peek-powered eye health programmes (for school, community and workplace) and rapid assessments, which are both designed for use by eye health providers such as INGOs and governments.
Peek powers eye health programme providers to strengthen systems and service delivery. Our software and data intelligence platform includes a smartphone app with clinically-validated vision test, that digitises and optimises patient referral pathways and enables data capture at every stage of the patient journey. The data platform helps monitor and evaluate programmes to uncover barriers to care and support continuous service improvement.
Peek also has a free, publicly available standalone app for visual acuity testing (Peek Acuity). This is aimed at eye health and general health practitioners as well as anyone who can use a smartphone. Unlike WHOeyes, it is not recommended for self-testing. Peek Acuity is clinically-validated and has been proven to be as accurate as conventional vision tests in peer-reviewed research.
36 million people worldwide are blind. Four in five of them could keep their sight with simple surgery or treatment. Millions more can't see clearly, yet need no more than a simple pair of glasses. We won't stop until everyone has been linked to the treatment and services they need.
