Dr Andrew Bastawrous
Dr Andrew Bastawrous has won the Clearly Lifetime Achievement Award to recognise his extraordinary contribution to the field of global eye health. Dr Bastawrous is the founder of Peek – the Portable Eye Examination Kit – which was developed with part-funding from Fight for Sight.
Peek is a smartphone-based system for performing comprehensive eye tests anywhere in the world. It is particularly well-suited to bringing high-quality eye care to remote regions in low-income countries.
The award is part of a campaign called Clearly, which was set up by Hong Kong-based businessman James Chen.
