Vision Pro Viewing Focal Distance

Celestar1 ~ Although Apple administers this community, that doesn't include reading each of thousands of daily posts for possible instructions. However, Apple will "read all feedback carefully" here:

For my far off stuff looks fine in pass through, other than just the general blurriness due to the lack of pixels really.

Yes but I know that the ones I got are too strong, so whatever they used to adjust it down is not enough.

Here is my experience:

I am near-sighted and also need "reading" glasses (actually "computer" glasses that is further distance than typical reading distance). My eye doctor included an "ADD" of +1.75 to my normal Rx for "reading" glasses. However, I always get an "ADD" of +1.25 for my glasses for use with my computer. This also works OK for reading.

The Zeiss instructions say to use the "ADD" (not an intermediate distance, like computer glasses), so my lenses were made with the +1.75. The passthrough video appeared somewhat blurry... The same as if I were wearing reading glasses IRL, although the augmented objects were clear ( I actually don't understand how that works since I am looking at the same screen!)

I ordered another pair of lenses with my "normal" +1.25 ADD and I could tell little difference. I guess the pass-through is somewhat less blurry, but really just a waste of $.

I assume the passthrough would not be blurry if I had no ADD, but also assume my eyes would soon get fatigued (I'm old).

Hi, It was mentioned in the earlier post that you can order another pair of lenses with different ADD. I am wondering how can you do it? Would not apple use exactly the numbers that your prescription says?

I am about to order Vision Pro and also straggling with decision what should I use for ADD as I am (a) near-sighted but one eye is better than another; (b) have "computer" glasses prescription but no "reading" glasses prescription. And, really use no glasses in real life, except when watching 4K movies :)

Would Apple allow me to reorder lenses with different ADD if I am not happy with first result?

Thanks.

Yeah I placed the order and they refused the prescription as I had one for my computer glasses I wanted to try. So far they have not responded to my emails about it, so I suspect it will get canceled.

You can certainly get another prescription filled but unlike other places you need to have a valid one from your doctor. So I am considering going to my doctor and asking her to make me one just for VR glasses so I can have Apple make that.

Or we can wait because Hons VR is making lenses also that will come in soon. I just ordered those for my Quest 3 and they will make any prescription you ask for.

I see, thanks. Since I do not use reading glasses, I guess I will just submit my order with "distance" glasses prescription. It shows nothing in the ADD category. Will apple accept it or I need to get another one saying explicitly "0" there? Anybody got lenses for the near-sighted eyes case "only"? Thanks.

One thing is when I ordered mine it said I needed the 23W face shield vs the 21W one (and for the next test it said 24W?). I think that is one that pushes it further from your face for the lenses, so when I move my headset back a little it's quite a bit better with the lenses for my progressives. Catch is the new face shield I ordered does not arrive for a few weeks. So I am using it as is for now. I just really wish I could lower it maybe 0.25 to 0.5 diopter. I do hope the 23W will make a big difference.

Oh yes, you can just include 0 for the ADD. That is common for pure distance glasses (and my computer glasses). I only recently started getting progressives and I used to have lower distance vision to compensate but now decided to get proper distance vision and progressives.

Getting old sucks!

Max, probably the best way is to ask your doctor to re-write the prescription with a different ADD. I cheated and simply changed the +1.75 to +1.25 with similar color ink. although this may not always work.

As I mentioned in my original post, I saw no significant difference between the two lens and would probably just use the original ADD if I were going to order another pair (for some reason). I'm not sure if they actually make the lenses with the entire ADD correction anyway... perhaps it is a smaller shift(?). Also, I told them I am old which apparently results in another correction... as they state in the instructions. Possibly they only apply the "age" correction if there is no ADD (?). Anyway, I have been pleased with the lens and have no significant eye fatigue, even if I use it for several hours. This was a big concern for me before I ordered the Vision Pro.

It may be a stupid question but can somebody explain how those lenses work vs glasses. Like I said, I normally do not use reading glasses but I do have distance glasses. I use them when I watch movies or drive. But if I try to use them when I read, I cannot see the text. If Apple would design those insert lenses based on my distance glasses prescription, would not I lose ability to see clear any ”virtual” objects nearby? Thanks.
