Inserts

Apple Vision Pro, the first mixed-reality headset from Apple, features one of the highest-resolution display systems money can buy. But for people with vision correction needs, those brilliant displays — sporting resolutions of 4K per eye — will end up looking dull and blurry. Apple thought of this, and has partnered with Zeiss to offer custom optical inserts for Vision Pro at $150 a pop. However, the purchase process isn't as simple as walking into an Apple Store and picking up a fresh pair of lenses. There are plenty…

Apple has confirmed that Vision Pro customers will be able to customize their ZEISS Optical Inserts for the headset with their name or initials as part of the pre-order process on its website. As part of the pre-order process, users are asked if they wear either glasses or contact lenses in order to determine whether or not they need ZEISS Optical Inserts for Vision Pro.

Craig Glidden, GM’s EVP of legal and policy and a…

When Apple announced the Vision Pro headset during WWDC23, it also announced a pair of Zeiss vision correction inserts that could slot into each eye of the headset over the displays. These magnetically attach to the inside of the headset and can easily be taken out when not needed. Say for example, when someone else who doesn’t need vision correction wants to use the headset. As the lenses are made by Zeiss and they’re for an Apple product, they probably won’t be anywhere near inexpensive. Apple didn’t officially…
