Abstract
The invention relates to a acrylated-based optical coating composition containing an organic peroxide initiator which presents a low yellowness level. The initiator has a range of free radical energy that is below a predetermined level. The cure process is controlled by the use a catalyst and a low energy initiator to avoid deleterious reactions that can increase yellowness. The composition is well suited to be applied to a lens and cured in the mold to form a coating with reduced yellowness having high adhesion and abrasion-resistant properties. A dye can be introduced into the composition to form a tinted lens.
