We make a detailed study on the typical production channel of double charmoniums, $e^+e^-to J/psi+eta_c$, at the center-of-mass collision energy $sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. The key component of the process is the form factor $F_{rm VP}(q^2)$, which has been calculated within the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR). To improve the accuracy of the derived LCSR, we keep the $J/psi$ light-cone distribution amplitude up to twist-4 accuracy. Total cross sections for $e^+e^-to J/psi+eta_c$ at three typical factorization scales are $sigma|_{mu_s} = 22.53^{+3.46}_{-3.49}~{rm fb}$, $sigma|_{mu_k} = 21.98^{+3.35}_{-3.38}~{rm fb}$ and $sigma|_{mu_0} = 21.74^{+3.29}_{-3.33}~{rm fb}$, respectively. The factorization scale dependence is small, and those predictions are consistent with the BABAR and Belle measurements within errors.
