Startups
We work in partnership with health providers, NGOs and governments - together 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 our partners are breaking down the barriers to receiving eye health care for the people who need it most.
