  • Patent number: 7815308
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical article, in particular an ophthalmic lens comprising a substrate, a coating that includes at least one photodegradation-sensitive dye, and a photodegradation protection (anti-UV) coating for protecting the coating containing at least one photodegradation-sensitive dye, the photo-degradation protection coating comprising a blend of acrylate oligomers and monofunctional or multifunctional acrylate monomers, at least one UV absorber and at least one photoinitiator. This anti-UV coating used is particularly suitable for an ophthalmic lens in which the polarizing function is provided by a bilayer system, one layer of which comprises liquid crystals combined with dyes, and more particularly dichroic dyes. Advantageously, the anti-UV coating according to the invention is combined with an oxygen barrier layer.
