Use Digital Prism Correction in Apple Vision Pro

With visionOS 26 and later, you can add prism values from your prescription to adjust the displays in Apple Vision Pro.

Before you get started

  • The Digital Prism Correction feature is only for those with prism values in their vision prescription from an eye-care professional. You'll need your prism values to complete setup. Not all prism prescriptions are supported.1

  • This feature is available only in the U.S. and U.S. territories.2

  • Setting up this feature resets any eye-comfort adjustments that you've made to your Apple Vision Pro displays. You can make eye-comfort adjustments again after setup, if needed.

  • Your Apple Vision Pro needs visionOS 26 or later. Learn how to update visionOS.

How to set up Digital Prism Correction

  1. Open Settings in your Apple Vision Pro, then tap Eyes & Hands.

  2. Under Displays & Optical Inserts, tap the more button next to your ZEISS Optical Inserts. If you don't use ZEISS Optical Inserts, tap the more button next to Default Displays.

  3. Tap Add Prism Prescription. The prism setup window appears, and all other content is hidden. You can cancel setup at any time and return to your Apple Vision Pro view by double pressing the Digital Crown.

  4. The setup window asks if prism values are part of your prescription. Press the Digital Crown to select Yes, Prism Is in My Prescription. Or rotate the Digital Crown to select No, Prism Is Not in My Prescription. If you select No, the setup process ends.

  5. Which type of prism values are in your prescription? Select Base or Angle.

  6. Select an eye to start with: Right Eye - OD or Left Eye - OS.

  7. If your prescription has Base values, select Base In (BI) or Base Out (BO) to add any relevant values for the eye you selected. Then select Base Up (BU) or Base Down (BD) to add those values if they're in your prescription. If your prescription has Angle values, set the angle in degrees to add any relevant values for the eye you selected.

  8. Do the same for your other eye, if needed.

  9. Select Confirm when you're finished adding prism values.

  10. Apple Vision Pro asks you to look at a series of dots and tap each one to complete the eye setup. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Update or remove your Digital Prism Correction settings

  1. Open Settings in your Apple Vision Pro.

  2. Tap Eyes & Hands.

  3. Under Displays & Optical Inserts, tap the more button next to the ZEISS Optical Inserts or the Default Displays that you added prism values to.

  4. Tap Update Prism Prescription or Remove Prism Prescription.

Using the Digital Prism Correction feature with Guest User

When you let another person use your Apple Vision Pro with Guest User, they can use the Digital Prism Correction feature if they've set up the feature before on another Vision Pro and saved their setup information to their iPhone or iPad.

Your guest's prism values will be applied to your Apple Vision Pro when they use their iPhone or iPad to start a Guest User session. When the Guest User session ends, your Vision Pro returns to your settings.
