Windows appear tilted to the left when using ZEISS Optical Inserts

TopMenu/all Windows are displayed inclined.

With ZEISS optical inserts, the left side of Windows is tilted to the back and the right side is tilted to the front.

I've checked past similar discussions, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

Can't find any reports from Apple on this.

Anyone know of any countermeasures or cases where this has solved the problem?

Additional Information:

- My experiment and hypothes

>Experiment with only one of the lenses attached, below

>With only the Right lens, Windows is tilted, Visual correction is normal

>With only the Left lens, Windows is facing forward and normal, Visual correction is normal

>Hypothes : May be a problem in dealing with the Astigmatism setting of Vision Pro ?

>My lens prescription >> R=Sph:-0.75 Cyl:-1.00 Axis:90, L=Sph:-1.50 Cyl:0.00 Axis:0, Mild astigmatism in right eye

Therefore, thinking of trying it out if I can swap lenses without astigmatism.

I have found one solution to the tilted Windows when Zeiss optical inserts are mounted.

The way to do this is to order new Zeiss Optical Inserts with the Cyl and Axis values of your vision prescription set to zero. Exclude astigmatism setting: means ignore it.

### Caution:

If you have mild astigmatism, this method seems to work, as it did for me.

But perhaps, unfortunately, not a solution for everyone.

It seems to be effective in cases of astigmatism that can be ignored like mine.

In general, about Cyl value of astigmatism,

mild [Cyl < ±1.25] may be OK without correction,

moderate [Cyl < ±2.00] may require correction,

strong [Cyl > ±2.00] requires correction.

### Additional Information:

My vision prescription below.

R: Sph=-0.75, Cyl=-1.00, Axis=90

L: Sph=-1.50, Cyl= 0.00, Axis=0

This displays Windows slightly distorted and slanted leftward. Still, visual correction is good.

This phenomenon is not a problem with the VisionOS settings, it is a problem from the beginning when the lens is mounted.

Then, Changed vision prescription below. Specify Cyl and Axis as zero.

R: Sph=-0.75, Cyl=0.00, Axis=0

L: Sph=-1.50, Cyl=0.00, Axis=0

This displays Windows correctly without distortion or slant.

About prescription, It seems that different countries have different ways of specifying lens prescriptions! In Japan, We can buy them online by entering the value only, with no upload. If you say you need to upload, would you consult an ophthalmologist for a prescription statement?

Why the astigmatic lens setting is not properly reflected in Apple Vision Pro, I have no idea. On the other hand, I know some people say no problem.

Zeiss support, all I get back is ask Apple.

I can't find any reports on Zeiss optical inserts in Apple.

No comment from Apple on the Apple disscussion forum.

This problem has been reported for over a year and I hope it will be resolved soon. Will an update of VisionOS solve this problem?
