    Abstract: A stabilizing matrix for photochromic compounds is disclosed in which a functionalized hindered amine light stabilizer capable of reacting with an isocyanate group is linked to the polymer backbone by a covalent bond to form a grafted structure. The resulting matrix is characterized by having a stabilizing effect on the photochromic dye, in particular, spirooxazines. Preferred specific articles of the invention are photochromic organic lenses.
