In-Practice Vision Appraisals

Specialist Vision Care for Performers—Delivered at Our Holmfirth Clinic

At Performing Arts Vision Care, we know that the demands of stage, studio, and production require more than a standard eye check. Our In-Practice Vision Appraisals offer the same award-winning expertise and personalised care as our At-Home service, but with the added benefit of access to our full suite of specialist equipment and in-clinic technology.

Trusted by the Performing Arts Community

We are proud to be registered practitioners with the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM)—the UK’s leading body for healthcare professionals supporting performers. Both our business and our specialist opticians—Abigayle Doe, Sheryl Doe, and Elizabeth Susan Holmes—are BAPAM registered. You can also find Performing Arts Vision Care listed as a BAPAM-registered business. This accreditation means you can trust that our care meets the highest standards for performer health and wellbeing.

What to Expect

When you visit our Holmfirth clinic, you’ll receive a comprehensive, performer-focused vision appraisal using your existing prescription as a starting point. We take the time to understand your unique visual demands—whether you’re reading sheet music, managing stage lighting, or working behind the scenes. Your appraisal includes:

  • A thorough assessment of your vision needs and the specific challenges you encounter while performing
  • Advice on optimising your current prescription for your performance environment
  • Recommendations for bespoke vision solutions, lens enhancements, or specialist coatings
  • Practical tips to reduce visual fatigue and improve comfort during performances
  • Binocular Visual Field Exam: An advanced test to map your central and peripheral vision, helping us identify any blind spots or areas of reduced sensitivity that could impact your performance.

Who is this for?

Our In-Practice Vision Appraisals are ideal for performers and media professionals who:

  • Are happy with their everyday prescription but notice issues during performances or rehearsals
  • Want a focused, detailed assessment in a fully equipped clinic setting
  • Value the additional insight provided by our advanced visual field testing.
