Claim:
1. A method of programming an energized ophthalmic lens for providing by-focal vision correction, the method comprising: determining vision corrective needs of a user for distance X; determining vision corrective needs of a user for distance Y; obtaining at least one bare eye data measurement of the patient and one or more lens design options for the at least one bare eye data measurement of the patient; providing a simulated display of graphical representations predicting the optical effect of said one or more obtained lens design options; selecting from the simulated display an ophthalmic lens comprising a hydrogel supporting structure and a media insert, at least a portion of the media insert being supported by the hydrogel portion, and positioned onto a portion of the optical zone of the ophthalmic lens, the optical options of the ophthalmic lens providing an optical effect capable of correcting the vision at a distance X; and programming an operational protocol to switch the state of the optical corrective properties of the lens for an image at distance Y.
