Key prescription aspects to keep in mind.

The following guide explains the prescription information you need to provide when ordering ZEISS Optical Inserts – Prescription for Apple Vision Pro. These points are for your reference and are not legal advice. If you have questions about your prescription, please ask your eye care professional.

We need your eyeglass prescription to create your ZEISS Optical Inserts – Prescription (sometimes also called distance prescription). This is why we ask you to upload it. Contact lens prescriptions or ones for task-specific uses (office or computer glasses, near reading glasses) don't qualify.

Important: Before uploading your prescription, make sure it is signed by a licensed Canadian eye care professional.
Your prescription should contain an expiration and/or issue date. If it doesn't have a date, please ask your eye care professional if the prescription is still valid.

Sometimes prescriptions have an issue and examination date. The validity of prescriptions may vary: most prescriptions will be valid for 12 months, but some could also be valid for two or more years. If your prescription is older than 12 months, we recommend checking with your eye care professional to make sure it's still valid.
Your eyeglass prescription needs to include your full name. In some provinces date of birth is also mandatory. If your unsure if date of birth should be on your prescription, make sure to consult your eye care professional.
