Virtually unique

At Performing Arts Vision Care, we use KUDOS, a cutting-edge new VR technology, to help us design your custom lenses. We are proud to provide our valued clients with this cutting-edge technology.

For the first time, we can see how a performer sees the world, including during rehearsals and on stage. If you require a completely personalised approach, we can customise a lens solution to meet your specific requirements. KUDOS allows us to create custom lenses by tracking your head and eye movements in virtual reality (VR) and visualising the results on a heat map. We then tailor a lens design to your gaze dynamics using the heat map generated.

The performing artist and AMD

An age-related condition, Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye disease that can have an immense impact on the lives and professional pursuits of performing artists, especially musicians. As the disease advances, it changes through distinct stages, each presenting its own set of difficulties. During the initial phases, drusen, which are small yellow deposits, become visible in the macula, which is responsible for clear central vision. As the disease advances, the presence of permeable blood vessels leads to the development of blind spots and distortions in vision, which are commonly referred to as wet AMD. This can greatly impede musicians' capacity to decipher sheet music or perceive instrument keys or strings with clarity, thereby rendering their craft arduous.
