After obtaining the permission of the ethics committee and institution of the study, the researcher will go to the clinic and introduce himself to the patient who is admitted to undergo ESWL procedure and explain the purpose of the research. Informed consent will be obtained from patients who volunteered to participate in the study. The data on the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients in the patient introduction form will be interviewed face-to-face with the patient, and the data on the clinical characteristics of the patients will be recorded from the patient file. Data will be collected from the first patient who will undergo the ESWL procedure. Pain with VAS and comfort level with General comfort scale will be checked 5-10 minutes before the procedure. According to the randomization, the patient in the virtual glasses group will first be explained to the patient by the researcher that he will wear the glasses for 30 minutes during the procedure and watch the video. When the 30 minutes are up, the patient will be informed by the researcher and the glasses will be removed. No intervention will be performed on the patient in the control group. The first patient will go to the operation room. Patients in the virtual glasses group will use the virtual glasses for 30 minutes after the patient goes to the operating table and the preparation is completed. No intervention will be performed on the patient in the control group. All patient groups will be checked for pain with VAS and comfort level with general comfort scale 30 minutes after the end of the procedure.
