Abstract
An optical material, comprising a resin composed of a polymer constituted of a first structural unit composed of at least one of the compounds represented by the formula (I), and of a second structural unit composed of at least one of the compounds represented by the formula (II), and having a weight-average molecular weight of from 1.times.10.sup.3 to 5.times.10.sup.6 : ##STR1## where R.sub.1 denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbons or a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbons; ##STR2## where R.sub.2 denotes hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbons, and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 denote respectively an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbons. The optical material is superior in transparency, heat resistance, surface hardness, mechanical strength, and other properties.
