Kingway expands single-vision lens sourcing around CR39, aspheric and AR specs

Kingway is positioning its single-vision lens portfolio around separate material, geometry and coating choices to cut ordering errors for optical distributors and wholesalers. The company says the structure helps buyers match CR39, aspheric and AR requirements with the right lens route and factory capabilities.

Why it matters: - Optical buyers often mix up material, lens geometry and coating terms when sourcing single-vision lenses. - Kingway’s specification-led format is designed to reduce RFQ mistakes and improve match rates between buyer orders and factory output. - The approach matters for distributors, wholesalers and Rx labs that need consistent bulk stock and customized orders.

What happened: - Kingway outlined a single-vision portfolio built around separate specification layers for CR39 material and index, aspheric geometry and AR treatment. - The company said its range includes CR39 1.499, 1.56 aspherical CR39, 1.591 polycarbonate, 1.61 MR8 and 1.67 MR7. - Kingway also listed 1.74 ultra-thin and impact-resistant polycarbonate routes in its broader single-vision lineup. - The company linked buyers to more information.

The details: - CR39 1.499 is presented as the conventional resin base in Kingway’s assortment. - Aspheric geometry is described as a separate design choice that changes curvature to reduce peripheral distortion and flatten the lens profile. - AR, HC and HMC are identified as surface-treatment options, not base materials. - Hard coating is intended to improve scratch resistance. - Anti-reflective treatment is intended to reduce glare and improve light transmission. - Hard Multi-Coating combines scratch resistance with anti-reflective performance. - Kingway says its facility covers 5,000 square meters and can produce 20,000 pairs a day. - The company says it was established in 2011 and provides OEM services and customized packaging envelopes.

Between the lines: - The portfolio structure reflects a procurement strategy that keeps the substrate, surface geometry and coating in separate fields. - That separation helps buyers compare identical materials with different finishes without muddying the order sheet. - The messaging also suggests Kingway wants to be viewed as a technical sourcing partner, not just a commodity lens supplier.

What’s next: - Buyers are being pushed to write RFQs with exact material or index, prescription range, spherical or aspheric geometry, coating type, diameter or frame constraints, quantity and packaging needs. - Kingway is encouraging wholesalers to route order lists and Rx sheets through its website for quotation and configuration matching. - The company is positioning its broader high-index and polycarbonate routes as options for thicker prescriptions, rimless frames and impact requirements.

The bottom line: - Kingway’s pitch is simple: keep CR39, aspheric design and AR coating separate in the order process, and sourcing becomes more accurate, faster and less error-prone.
