Some Apple Vision Pro users return their devices over discomfort, headache, eye strain

Some people say they’re returning their Apple Vision Pro spatial computers claiming discomfort, headache, and eye strain among their top reasons.
Victoria Song for The Verge:

It’s no coincidence that there’s been an uptick on social media of Vision Pro owners saying they’re returning their $3,500 headsets in the past few days. Apple allows you to return any product within 14 days of purchase — and for the first wave of Vision Pro buyers, we’re right about at that point.
Comfort is among the most cited reasons for returns. People have said the headset gives them headaches and triggers motion sickness. The weight of the device, and the fact that most of it is front-loaded, has been another complaint. Parker Ortolani, The Verge’s product manager, told me that he thought using the device led to a burst blood vessel in his eye. At least one other person noted they had a similar experience with redness. (To be fair, VR headset users have anecdotally reported dry eyes and redness for years.)

MacDailyNews Take: Every single product ever sold notched/notches some returns for a wide variety of reasons. A relative handful of users on social media is just that: a relative handful of users on social media. As Apple works to make Vision Pro even lighter and improve the spatial computer over time, we bet these customers will be back for subsequent generations.

What a bummer of a day. Can’t believe it, but I’ve returned the Vision Pro. Just too uncomfortable to wear and it’s a strain on my eyes. It’s clearly the future. It works like magic. But the physical tradeoffs are just not worth it for me right now. I’ll be back for the next one, assuming they fix these comfort issues.
