Apple Vision Pro Used in Cataract Surgeries with ScopeXR Platform for Enhanced Visualization

Apple Vision Pro, initially seen as an expensive consumer device, has been adopted by ophthalmologist Eric Rosenberg in New York for cataract surgeries since late 2025. Using the ScopeXR platform, the headset streams live 3D visuals from surgical microscopes, allowing surgeons to view the eye and patient data simultaneously without shifting focus. This technology complements existing surgical tools and enables remote collaboration, potentially enhancing surgical workflows and specialist access in operating rooms.
