Abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus for programming an energizable Ophthalmic Lens with a programmable Media Insert. In some embodiments, a Media Insert may be programmable to allow for further customization of the energized Ophthalmic Lens. The programming may occur after the electrical components have been encapsulated in the programmable Media Insert. In some embodiments, the apparatus may wirelessly program the Media Insert after the Ophthalmic Lens has been fully assembled. Alternatively, the apparatus may indirectly program the Media Insert by wirelessly programming an overlay. The overlay may subsequently program the Media Insert when placed in proximity to the Media Insert, wherein the placing completes the assembly of the Ophthalmic Lens.
