摘要： A process for making a photochromic optical lens is disclosed. In a first embodiment of the process a multi-plied laminate, containing a ply of photochromic thermoplastic polyurethane (herein “TPU”) and a ply containing thermoplastic polycarbonate, is first placed in the cavity of a suitable mold. The ply that contains polycarbonate resin is placed facing the cavity. Thermoplastic polycarbonate resin is then injected into the cavity. In a second embodiment, referred to as an over-mold method, polycarbonate is first injection molded into a molding cavity to form a substrate. Photochromic TPU is, in a subsequent step, injected into the cavity to form a superstrate overlay. In both embodiments, the articles thus molded are suitable for the preparation of optical lenses.
