1. A curable photochromic composition comprising:
(a) a first component comprising a first compound having at least two active hydrogen-functional groups and an active hydrogen-functional group equivalent weight of at least 1000, wherein said first compound comprises a polyol, and said polyol of said first compound is selected from polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, and combinations thereof;
(b) a second component comprising at least one of a polyisocyanate and a blocked polyisocyanate; and
(c) at least one photochromic compound,
wherein the ratio of total isocyanate and blocked isocyanate group equivalents of the second component to total active hydrogen-functional group equivalents is at least 4:1.
