  • Patent number: 5181142
    Abstract: A plastic lens having an anti-reflecting and hard coat layer is provided. The anti-reflecting layer is formed by coating a lens with a hard coat solution containing at least one oxide sol, hardening the coated solution to give a hard coat layer and immersing the lens into an acidic or alkaline solution to dissolve the oxide particles contained in the hard coat layer so as to make the layer ununiform. The anti-reflecting effect of the formed layer is equivalent to that of a conventional anti-reflecting film consisting of three or more than three layers.
