Many Vision Pro users complain of fit issues with the light seal; you see complaints about headache-inducing sessions, users feeling like they’re watching a movie through binoculars, or light leaking through the nose and ruining the experience. These issues can often be enough to nudge AVP users to return the device, even though the fix is typically a simple swap of the light seal.
Apple has different sizes of light seals, and your initial scan may have landed you with the wrong size. If you’re considering returning your AVP because it feels uncomfortable or you have light leaking through the edges, you may benefit from bringing your device to an Apple Store and testing out different sizes of light seals.

The problem isn’t as simple as sizing up or down; the AVP light seal is available in N and W variants, 11-14, 21-26, and 33-36, and the numbers don’t follow a size pattern like clothing. Each number fits a different face type, with variations to how far your cheeks or forehead protrude forward and how deep the light seal is, so if fit is an issue, it’s worth trying out a few sizes.
