The present invention discloses methods and apparatus for forming a viewing set of ophthalmic devices for three-dimensional perception of stereoscopic media and includes the resulting viewing set devices. The viewing sets include a left ophthalmic device and a right ophthalmic device, wherein each ophthalmic device includes a translation filter that, when combined, allow for three-dimensional perception. The present invention also includes embodiments where the translation filters are included in an encapsulated rigid insert or media insert, wherein the media insert includes a variable optic zone. The present invention also includes methods for forming a media insert capable of powering and controlling activation of an active translation filter, and more specifically, where the media insert may be incorporated in an ophthalmic device viewing set.
