Abstract

A process for producing a photochromic cured product by allowing an unpurified, impurities-containing polyfunctional (meth)acrylate monomer such as unpurified polyalkylene glycol dimethacrylate and a photochromic spirooxazine compound to contain a compound having at least one epoxy group in the molecule such as glycidyl methacrylate and then polymerizing the resulting composition. The process can provide a spirooxazine-based photochromic cured product which hardy undergoes initial coloring and is superior in initial color-developing performance.
