Safely use your Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro has built-in safety features to help prevent collisions and falls, but it’s also important to use the device in a safe manner. For example, don’t run while wearing Apple Vision Pro, use it while operating a moving vehicle, or use it while intoxicated or otherwise impaired.
Read all of the information below before using your Apple Vision Pro.
Make sure your Apple Vision Pro fits correctly
A proper fit, including using the correct Light Seal, Light Seal Cushion, and head band for your face and head, is important for a comfortable and safe experience. If you require vision correction, you must either wear contact lenses or use the compatible ZEISS Optical Inserts; eyeglasses are not compatible with Apple Vision Pro. See Adjust the fit of your Apple Vision Pro, Adjust display alignment on Apple Vision Pro, and Use ZEISS Optical Inserts for vision correction with Apple Vision Pro.
Important: Apple Vision Pro is designed to fit and be used by individuals 13 years of age or older.
Protect the glass on your Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro is not a protective device. It contains glass, which could scratch, crack, or create sharp edges as a result of impacts with surfaces in the environment.
Be aware that the risk of collision may be increased when you’re moving at higher speeds. Don’t run while wearing Apple Vision Pro.
Never use Apple Vision Pro if the cover glass is broken. If the cover glass breaks during use, carefully remove Apple Vision Pro from your head by holding the frame—not the glass—and head band.
Put the cover on your Apple Vision Pro and place it on a flat, level surface anytime you’re not using it.
For information about cleaning and storage, see Clean your Apple Vision Pro.
Prevent and reduce motion sickness
Apple Vision Pro is designed to minimize the risk of motion sickness. To learn more about motion sickness when using Apple Vision Pro, see the Apple Support article If you experience motion sickness while using your Apple Vision Pro.
Start using Apple Vision Pro gradually to get adjusted, and take regular breaks, even if you think you don’t need them. For example, start with just a 20 or 30-minute session, and adjust based on your comfort level.
Immersive content that has a higher probability of causing certain people to experience motion sickness is labeled in the App Store as having high motion. Be aware of this label as you select immersive content, especially while you’re getting used to Apple Vision Pro.
Be aware of symptoms of motion sickness, such as nausea, and stop using Apple Vision Pro if you experience them.
Wait until symptoms have subsided before doing anything—such as walking or driving a car—that requires balance, coordination, or attention to safety.
If any symptoms persist, consult your physician before resuming use of Apple Vision Pro.
You can also reduce the motion in some experiences, such as in Environments. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion, then turn on Reduce Motion.
In visionOS 2.1 or later, if you are experiencing motion discomfort while looking at apps in your space, go to Settings > Awareness & Safety, then turn off Stabilize Nearby Content. Try it both on and off to see if it eases any motion sickness you may experience.
Preexisting conditions and medical devices
Avoid using Apple Vision Pro if you feel unwell. If you are pregnant or have a preexisting medical condition, such as migraine headaches, an eye or vision condition, an inner ear condition, or a psychological condition, be aware that using Apple Vision Pro or certain experiences may aggravate your symptoms, or increase the risk of injury or discomfort.
Consult your physician prior to using Apple Vision Pro under the following circumstances:
You have a medical condition—such as seizures—that could be affected by or interact with your Apple Vision Pro.
You are at risk for falls or seizures, or have a serious medical condition such as a heart condition.
You have a medical device that may be impacted by magnets and electromagnetic fields. See “Medical device interference” in Important safety information for Apple Vision Pro.
Important: If you experience symptoms that may be related to a medical condition, or you suspect the device and battery are interfering with your medical device, discontinue using Apple Vision Pro and consult your physician. If any symptoms persist, consult your physician before resuming wear.
