ABSTRACT:
A method for coating a plastic lens element including applying a coating composition consisting substantially of reactants having at least triacrylate functionality, a photo-initiator and a polymerization inhibitor reactive with oxygen to the face of a mold. The coating is subjected to ultraviolet light in an oxygen containing environment such that a hard abrasion-resistant coating is formed. The mold is then filled with a lens forming composition which is reactive with acrylate groups of the coating at the coating/lens interface. The lens forming composition is permitted to cure in the mold with the lens forming composition being bonded to the lens coating.
