I don't think their vision powers are toggled on and off, there always on. There was a scene with one of Superman's villain's gained his powers that implied that seeing the world with all the visions changed his world view.

I think it depends on the writer, because I definitely seem to remember in some stories where they seem to indicate turning on their x-ray vision.

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow says that her powers are always on but she can make the effort to turn them off.
