Describes a photochromic article, e.g., a plastic ophthalmic photochromic article, such as a lens, in which the article includes (1) a rigid substrate, such as a thermoset or thermoplastic polymeric substrate, (2) a photochromic polymeric coating appended to at least one surface of the substrate, the photochromic polymeric coating containing a photochromic amount of at least one photochromic material, e.g., spirooxazine, naphthopyran and/or fulgide, and (3) an acrylate-based film coherently appended to the photochromic coating, the acrylate-based film containing an adhesion promoting amount of an adhesion promoter, e.g., an aminoorganosilane, silane coupling agent, organic titanate coupling agent or organic zirconate coupling agent. Describes also the aforedescribed photochromic article having an abrasion-resistant coating affixed to the acrylate-based film, e.g., an abrasion-resistant coating comprising an organo silane; and a photochromic article having an antireflective coating affixed to the abrasion-resistant coating.
