Caledonian Optical

In 2014 Caledonian Optical became the first spectacle lens laboratory in Scotland to install a fully equipped anti-reflection coating facility. Which now gives us complete control of the production of all our lenses that require coatings. Along with the Schneider DHC 60 Automated dip coat system for hard coating lenses before applying the AR layers. The equipment is housed in a restricted access room that has a continuous positive pressure environment in order to maintain a dust free atmosphere.

Our staff that operate the equipment are required to wear complete overall, headwear and footwear that is only worn in the coating room to avoid transfer of contaminates from the outside. Along with strict cleaning and maintenance procedures, this results in our lenses having exceptionally high quality of Anti reflection coatings applied.
