Explore our diverse portfolio of yearly, daily cosmetic color lenses, and specialized container accessories designed for global consumer demands.
The global ophthalmic lens market is experiencing an unprecedented surge, driven by structural shifts in consumer demographics, increased screen time, and the massive popularity of cosmetic and daily disposable color lenses. As a direct result, the demand for high-performance Multipurpose Contact Lens Solutions (MPS) has grown exponentially. No longer viewed simply as a secondary accessory, the contact lens solution is today recognized as the fundamental guardian of ocular safety, lens comfort, and visual acuity.
For brand owners, global distributors, and clinical retail channels, finding an OEM/ODM manufacturing partner capable of handling high-volume sterile liquids while staying fully compliant with modern biocompatibility regulations is a significant competitive bottleneck. The manufacturing process of ophthalmic medical devices demands extreme precision. A slight deviation in surfactant balance or pH stabilization can lead to lens degradation, protein build-up, corneal irritation, or microbial keratitis.
Dongguan Chic Contacts Co., Ltd. addresses this industry-wide challenge by offering a vertically integrated, highly customizable MPS OEM/ODM infrastructure. We leverage state-of-the-art chemical engineering platforms to match formulations directly to specific polymer matrices (such as classic Hydrogel and highly breathable Silicone Hydrogel), ensuring our partners receive products optimized for long-term comfort and safety.
Today's brand owners navigate three main operational challenges:
"Choosing the correct chemical surfactant profile defines the consumer's comfort curve across 12+ hours of continuous daily wear."
A deep breakdown of the chemical mechanics behind multi-action cleaning, disinfecting, and moisturizing profiles.
Utilizes ultra-low concentrations of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) and Polyquaternium-1. This targeted mechanism attacks pathogenic bacteria and fungal cells by disrupting cell walls without binding to the natural proteins of the cornea.
Formulated with Poloxamer 407 and Poloxamine. These non-ionic block copolymers lower surface tension, lifting organic debris, lipid lipids, and denatured tear proteins away from the lens surface while keeping it highly hydrophillic.
Enriched with high-grade Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) or Hypromellose (HPMC). These biopolymers construct a water-retaining shield on the lens, slowing evaporation rates and preventing dry eye symptoms in challenging environments.
| Functional Parameter | Standard Target Specification | Clinical / Operational Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| pH Range | 7.2 – 7.6 (Isotonic to human tears) | Prevents ocular burning, maintaining homeostatic comfort on the corneal surface. |
| Osmolality | 280 – 320 mOsm/kg | Matches the natural salinity of the ocular film to prevent lens swelling or shrinkage. |
| Efficacy vs. Pathogens | > 3.0 log reduction (Bacteria), > 1.0 log (Fungi) | Exceeds FDA/ISO standard stand-alone primary disinfection criteria. |
| Protein Removal Efficiency | > 85% removal after 6-hour soak | Minimizes mechanical rubbing, keeping soft color contacts clear and comfortable. |
| Silicone Hydrogel Compatibility | Minimal uptake of active preservatives | Eliminates risk of preservative-induced transient corneal staining (PATH). |

Navigating complex international ophthalmic standards with robust manufacturing certifications and quality-assurance systems.
Ophthalmic products must meet rigid medical device regulations. At Dongguan Chic Contacts Co., Ltd., we establish comprehensive traceability systems that simplify registration for global markets:
Different regions present distinct environmental challenges that affect tear film behavior and contact lens wear:
Arid & High-Temperature Climates (e.g., Middle East): In hot, dry regions, tear evaporation accelerates, causing dry-eye discomfort. We address this by increasing the concentration of high-molecular-weight Sodium Hyaluronate (HA) to lock moisture onto the lens polymer.
High-Humidity & Tropical Climates (e.g., Southeast Asia): Humid conditions can increase the risk of bacterial and fungal exposure. We adjust our preservative matrix to boost performance against regional strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Fusarium solani, protecting eyes without causing localized corneal irritation.
"Custom packaging options—such as airline-friendly 60ml travel bottles and daily unit-dose vials—help brands capture on-the-go lifestyle segments."
From mass cosmetic retail channels to professional ophthalmic settings, our formulations are optimized for diverse user environments.
Color contact lenses require care solutions that preserve delicate pigments. Our specialized formulas maintain the clarity of color designs without degrading lens polymers, ensuring a comfortable wear experience.
For clinical post-procedure care or long-wear orthokeratology (Ortho-K) systems, we produce high-purity, preservative-free unit doses that respect compromised ocular tissues while ensuring reliable microbial hygiene.
We help consumer eyewear brands build private-label lines with custom packaging, compliance labeling, and diverse sizes (from 60ml starter packs to 500ml family bottles) ready for immediate distribution.
As the contact lens industry evolves, we focus on continuous research and development to address key long-term trends:
1. Biological Enzyme Integration: Traditional formulas rely heavily on mechanical rubbing to clear deposits. We are developing solutions with natural, biodegradable proteolytic enzymes that gently break down tear proteins during soaking, offering a true "no-rub" option.
2. Bio-Inspired Hydration Networks: Modern digital lifestyles reduce natural blink rates, leading to dry eyes. Our future formulas will incorporate cross-linked biopolymers that mimic the structure of the natural tear mucin layer, ensuring stable hydration during extended screen use.
3. Eco-Friendly & Green Packaging: We are transitioning to post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics for bottles and implementing clean chemistry processes to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) in factory wastewater.
Our formulation roadmap focuses on three main objectives:
Technical answers to key regulatory, chemical, and operational manufacturing questions.
We operate Class 100/ISO 5 aseptic filling lines under Class 10,000 background environments. Our systems feature dual-pass reverse osmosis (RO) coupled with continuous Electrodeionization (EDI) systems to supply highly purified USP-grade water. Liquid lines undergo sterile filtration (using dual 0.22-micron PVDF filters) with automated integrity testing immediately prior to filling.
Yes. Silicone hydrogels are naturally hydrophobic and attract lipid deposits, whereas classic HEMA hydrogels are more prone to ionic protein deposits. Our custom formulations balance non-ionic block copolymer surfactants (such as Poloxamer and Poloxamine) to efficiently clean both lens materials without altering water content or shape.
We provide full technical documentation, including ISO 13485:2016 certification records, bio-compatibility studies (ISO 10993 series), toxicology reports, stability testing data (real-time and accelerated), and microbiological challenge results. This documentation supports your FDA 510(k) and CE MDR applications.
Our standard multipurpose contact lens solutions have a shelf life of 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions. The open-bottle discard time is typically 90 days, which we verify through standard open-bottle physical and microbiological stability testing.
Standard OEM/ODM orders start at 10,000 units per formulation batch, which helps maintain efficiency on our automated filling lines. Smaller pilot batches can be arranged depending on container sizing and regulatory requirements.
