China Wholesale Launch Your Own Contact Lens Brand Factory & Exporters

Because soft contact lenses are classified as Class IIa or Class III medical devices depending on jurisdiction, factories must maintain ISO 13485 certification for Quality Management Systems. For European distribution, compliance with CE MDR 2017/745 is required. Imports into the United States require FDA 510(k) clearances. Our factory network provides full technical files, certificates of analysis (COA), and sterility assurance documents to clear customs smoothly.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) involves producing lenses using your existing artwork, box designs, and brand name on our certified lens matrix formulations. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) is a comprehensive solution where our R&D team designs custom color graphics, formulates unique polymer ratios, designs bespoke blister foils, and creates end-to-end retail packaging tailored to your brand identity.

We utilize computerized 3-Layer Sandwich Technology. Micro-pigments are completely enclosed between inner and outer transparent monomers during the automated mold casting process. Pigment layers undergo solvent extraction testing and optical surface profilometry to verify that no colorant contacts ocular tissue, preventing allergic reactions or mechanical friction.

For standard stock designs packaged under custom blister foils, MOQs start as low as 500 to 1,000 pairs per power/color. For fully customized color pattern manufacturing or bespoke box packaging, typical MOQs range from 3,000 to 10,000 pieces per SKU. Standard production lead times are 15 to 25 calendar days post artwork approval, with expedited options for repeat stock replenishment.

In standard HEMA hydrogel lenses, water content (38%-58%) acts as the primary vehicle for oxygen transport; however, higher water content can cause lens dehydration in dry environments as the lens draws tears to maintain its structure. In Silicone Hydrogel (SiHy) lenses, oxygen passes directly through the silicone polymer matrix regardless of water percentage, achieving Dk/t values exceeding 80–120. This makes SiHy ideal for daily extended wear and dry climates.

Yes. While standard global production defaults to an 8.5mm or 8.6mm Base Curve with a 14.0mm to 14.5mm Diameter—fitting over 90% of global wearers—our tooling facility can engineer custom mold inserts for unique anatomical specifications (such as smaller 13.8mm sizes popular in certain East Asian markets or larger 14.8mm cosmetic enlargement series).

Every blister batch undergoes high-pressure thermal sealing followed by vacuum leak testing to verify seal integrity. Blisters are sterilized in high-pressure steam autoclaves at 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes. Accelerated aging studies in climate chambers validate product stability, maintaining sterility and hydration for up to 5 years.

Our blister saline solution is enriched with natural hydrating agents such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Trehalose. These bio-polymers bind moisture to the lens surface, creating a protective cushion that reduces initial insertion awareness and prevents end-of-day eye fatigue.
