Chinese factories don't buy material just from one supplier. Instead, they would buy material from different sources from USA, Korea, Japan or European countries where ever they can get good deal at the time and causing inconsistent quality. 2. Lack of local loyalty! Chinese factories would prefer to produce "one fits all" items for customers from all over the world! In the optical sense, Single vision lens would work and others could be big issues! SO, if they bring in the Seiko copycat progressive lens, I will assume not everyone would buy it. On the other hand, they will not have any advantage if they buy lens material locally from San Diego!
