Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical article having anti-reflection properties and high thermal resistance, comprising a substrate having at least one main face coated with a multi-layer anti-reflection coating comprising a stack of at least one high refractive index layer and at least one low refractive index layer, wherein the ratio:is higher than 2.1. If the anti-reflection stack comprises at least one low refractive index layer having a physical thickness ≧100 nm which is not the outermost layer of the anti-reflection coating, said relatively thick layer and the underlying layers are not taken into account in RT calculation.
