PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To support and protect a functional element provided on a contact lens surface through the design of a protective layer having a predetermined composition. SOLUTION: The contact lens L has an element protection function including a translucent main body 1, a functional element 2, and a protective layer 3, and the functional element 2 is provided on the translucent main body 1 to protect the contact lens L. The layer 3 is provided on the translucent main body 1 and covers the functional element 2. The functional element 2 is covered with a translucent main body 1 and a protective layer 3 and isolated from the outside, and the protective layer 3 includes a film-forming polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, and a solvent. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1【課題】所定の組成を有する保護層の設計を介して、コンタクトレンズ表面に設けた機能性素子を支持及び保護する。【解決手段】透光性本体1と、機能性素子2と、保護層3とを備える素子保護機能を有するコンタクトレンズLであって、機能性素子2は透光性本体1に設けられ、保護層3は透光性本体1に設けられるとともに機能性素子2を覆う。機能性素子2は透光性本体1と保護層3によって被覆され外部と隔離され、保護層3は、膜形成性高分子と、親水性高分子と、溶剤とを備える。【選択図】図1
