Abstract

Provided is an eyeglass lens having excellent anti-fogging properties and scratch resistance, the eyeglass lens comprising: a substrate having first and second principal surfaces; a water-absorbent anti-fogging layer composed of a single layer and formed on the second principal surface side of the substrate; a light-transmitting hard layer formed on the first principal surface of the substrate; and a hydrophilic anti-fogging layer formed on the light-transmitting hard layer.
