Abstract

Optical material comprising a polymer matrix and at least one benzotriazole compound having at least one ester group, wherein said at least one benzotriazole is a chlorobenzotriazole compound that does not comprise any polymerizable group selected from allylic, acrylic and methacrylic moieties, or the optical transmittance through a 2 mm thick layer of said optical material is lower than 1% for each light wavelength ranging from 280 to 400 nm, and higher than 65% for light having a wavelength of 430 nm. This optical material can be used to protect from phototoxic blue light and UV light.
