PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polymer gel composition having a stimulus-responsive property brought about by an interaction between at least two polymeric compounds, which is excellent in productivity and has a high degree of freedom of application, a method of producing the same, and an optical element having an excellent optical property using the polymer gel composition. SOLUTION: The polymer gel composition comprises two polymeric compounds which forms a polymeric complex by interacting each other and a liquid, wherein one of the polymeric compounds forms a three-dimensional crosslinked structure and the other having an ionic functional group dissolves in the liquid while existing in the three dimensional crosslinked structure. The method for producing the same is also provided. The optical element is prepared by inserting the polymer gel composition between a pair of substrates. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
