A Visionary Leader
Andrew Bastawrous, a dedicated ophthalmologist, initially focused on treating patients across Africa but recognized the limitations of traditional approaches.

His Peek Vision software and data platform have since empowered millions to overcome vision impairment. Dr. Bastawrous, recipient of the 2023 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, discusses the transformative power of innovative thinking in eye care.
