Disclosed is an adhesive composition for forming an adhesive layer and optical elements manufactured using the same. The adhesive layer has high adhesivity and excellent antistatic performance, and can not deteriorate the optical performance of an optical sheet coated with the adhesive layer. For implementing the above purpose, the present invention provides an adhesive composition, including (A) copolymer, which contains at least one or more (methyl) acrylic ester (a1) with halogen element selected from acrylic ester and metacrylic acid ester containing halogen element, and at least one or more (methyl) acrylic ester (a2) selected from the acrylic ester and the metacrylic acid ester; and (B) antistatic agent containing ionic compounds.
