Peek Acuity is a smartphone-based vision check app developed by eye experts to allow anyone to check visual acuity using only an Android smartphone.

Peek Acuity helps screen and identify people who need further examination.  It is not intended to replace detailed examinations from a qualified eye health professional.

Peek Acuity is a standalone app, which only provides a measure of visual acuity and a visual representation of the result. The full version of Peek Solutions with support, data analysis, SMS reminder functionality and other features is currently only available to Peek partners.
