Operation Eyesight Universal is delighted to announce that we have been Certified by Peek Vision in software user training. – Peek Vision is a global social enterprise whose software and data intelligence platform powers eye health programs to strengthen systems and service delivery. Since 2016, we have been working with Peek to implement eye health programs in Kenya through partnerships with CBM Christian Blind Mission, the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Seeing is Believing and the former United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Child Blindness Program, in collaboration with local county governments.

Members of our Kenya team participated in the Certification, which consisted of rigorous training and assessment by Peek team members over several days. They successfully passed the Certification, which enables them to independently manage Peek-powered programs and train others to use its smartphone-based eye health screening and data capture tools with confidence.

“Peek has become an invaluable tool in our programs by providing real-time data monitoring and analysis, which enhances our ability to respond quickly and effectively to emerging needs,” says Patrick Muthii, our MIS Officer in Kenya. “With accurate, up-to-date information at our fingertips, we make informed, data-driven decisions that strengthen program implementation, improve service delivery and ultimately ensure better outcomes for the communities we serve.”

Peek, which now works with eye health organizations across the world to address the global vision crisis, has been collaborating with us since its early days. With support from Operation Eyesight and local government partners, Peek first developed and tested its software and data intelligence platform in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya, laying the groundwork for its international rollout. Our partnership in Kenya continued with school eye health programs in Uasin Gishu County and expanded to community initiatives in Kajiado County under the CBM-led Vision Impact Project.

Today, Operation Eyesight remains a valued partner, using Peek’s platform in community eye health programs across three counties: Kajiado, Kisii and Nyamira. The collaboration also extends to research, with joint efforts alongside other partners to explore the availability and economic impact of reading glasses.
