Ophthalmic Lens Processes
Our Range
Siltint began colour coating glass spectacle lenses in 1972 at a time when plastic lenses were not available. Antireflection coatings followed soon after and Siltint was probably the first UK company to offer AR’s on plastic lenses when they became available. Siltint remains the premier independent coating house in the UK and has expanded its offering of opthalmic lens processes.
