Peek Retina
A low-cost smartphone adapter enabling professional eye examinations anywhere in the world.
Peek – the Portable Eye Examination Kit - makes eye tests affordable and easy anywhere in the world. Donate one to a clinic in need through our partners Médecins Sans Frontières and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. Around 39 million people are blind. 80% of this blindness is avoidable, but in many regions people don't have access to eye care.
Existing eye exam equipment is heavy, expensive, fragile and difficult to use. It’s not built to travel, it can feel intrusive, and it needs a reliable supply of electricity to work.
We’ve created Peek. It gives all the tools for professional eye exams from a smartphone. It makes eye exams easy and affordable, anywhere in the world.
