Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing a spectacle lens, which can remove machining traces, is free from a striped pattern, a variation in the degree of lenses, and a sagged shape and can improve the optical properties and quality of the spectacle lens. To this end, an optical surface (2a, 2b) of a spectacle lens (1) is machined. A hard coat film (4) formed of a material having hardness equal to or higher than a lens base material is formed on the machined optical surface (2a, 2b). Thereafter, the surface of the hard coat film (4) is polished, and an antireflection film (5) is formed on the polished hard coat film (4).
