OPTICAL ARTICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical article in which interference fringes can be reduced and high shock resistance can be obtained.SOLUTION: The optical article comprises: a plastic substrate 10; a reflection reducing layer 11 disposed on a surface of the plastic substrate and satisfying a relationship of nd=(λ/4), where n represents a refractive index, λ represents a designed wavelength and d represents a film thickness; a gradient layer 12 formed on a surface of the reflection reducing layer and comprising a polyurethane resin and metal oxide fine particles; and a hard coat layer 13 formed on a surface of the gradient layer. The gradient layer 12 exhibits a continuous or stepwise reduction of the refractive index in a direction from the reflection reducing layer 11 to the hard coat layer 13.
