An optical grade injection molded lens and process for forming including injection molding a liquid silicone polymer material into a mold configuration to form a base component of the lens and incorporating a phosphorescent composition into the liquid silicone polymer. The phosphorescent composition occurs in either a single or multiple injection molding steps of the liquid silicone polymer. Additional injection molding steps provide for forming a decorative feature into the lens, as well as forming a colorized ring from a further injection molding of a liquid silicone polymer. The silicone optical lens is produced according to the process of the present invention is integrated into a lamp assembly including a housing and one or more illuminating elements which, upon being deactivated, provides the desired long term afterglow effect.
