Set up Optic ID

  1. Go to Settings, then choose Optic ID & Passcode.

  2. Select Set up Optic ID and follow the onscreen steps. If you need vision correction, you can set up Optic ID with your ZEISS Optical Inserts already paired, or without your ZEISS Optical Inserts. If you set up Optic ID without ZEISS Optical Inserts, you can set up Optic ID with ZEISS Optical Inserts later in Settings.

  3. If you didn't already set up a passcode, you're prompted to create a passcode.

  4. After you set up Optic ID, you can turn on Nearby iPhone Enables Optic ID to use your iPhone to enable Optic ID when you turn on or restart your Apple Vision Pro.

You can set up Optic ID for up to two pairs of ZEISS Optical Inserts.

If you're signed in to your iPhone with iOS 17.1 or later and Apple Vision Pro with the same Apple Account, having your iPhone nearby can enable Optic ID when you turn on or restart your Apple Vision Pro.

  1. Go to Settings > Optic ID & Passcode.

  2. Tap your iPhone below Nearby iPhone Enables Optic ID.

You can use this feature if your iPhone is nearby and has been unlocked in the past hour.

Accessibility

If you rely upon a dominant eye, you can choose to control Apple Vision Pro with only one eye. When you choose that option, only that eye is used with Optic ID.

If you are blind or low vision, Optic ID enrollment may be feasible by focusing gaze forward, in the center of the screen during setup. If you choose not to use Optic ID or it's not a feasible solution, you can unlock your device and use Persona via passcode.

If you can't set up Optic ID or it isn't working, try the following:

  1. Make sure that your Apple Vision Pro fits correctly and that nothing is obstructing your eyes. You might need to try a different-sized Light Seal Cushion or a different-sized Light Seal.

  2. If you use hard contact lenses, it might impact your experience with Apple Vision Pro.

  3. Check that Apple Vision Pro has a clear view of your eyes, and that you're only using supported visual aids or accessories, such as ZEISS Optical Inserts. If you wear cosmetic contact lenses, remove them and try using Apple Vision Pro again.

  4. Clean your Apple Vision Pro displays and ZEISS Optical Inserts.

  5. Reset the pairing of your ZEISS Optical Inserts.

  6. Completely reset Optic ID and then set it up again.
