Eye care for professional musicians
We use our ears to hear and enjoy music, but if you’re a musician, your eyes are equally important. Your eyes allow you to read clearly, but they also allow you to read music you need or want to play.
A musician’s vision problems can have serious consequences. A number of age-related conditions can affect the eyes and have forced professional musicians into early retirement.
Try not to worry if you are a musician with vision problems, our clinical team is familiar with the visual needs of the entertainment industry. We are BAPAM registered practitioner, so if you have concerns about your vision or how to improve it please give us a call on 01484 907090 or contact us. We are here to help you.
Presbyopia is a condition which affects a person’s ability to focus on closer working distances and this can get in the way of musician’s ability to work and see properly. It is caused by a loss of elasticity of the eye’s crystalline lenses. Presbyopia can mean that while musicians focus on a music stand, they may find difficulty in being able to see the conductor. As a result, it forces many people to try to find some less than effective solutions or retire from playing professionally altogether.
