Abstract

A photochromic curable composition obtained by adding (E) an .alpha.-methylstyrene dimer and (F) a photochromic compound to polymerizable monomers comprising (A) a compound having at least one epoxy group in the molecule, such as glycidyl methacrylate or the like, (B) a polypropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate monomer, (C) a polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate monomer and (D) a (meth)acrylate monomer and/or a styryl monomer. This composition is superior in moldability when cured and gives a cured product of excellent durability in photochromism.
