Disclosed in the present invention are a fluorine-containing polymerizable compound of the general formula (1) and a polymer compound obtained therefrom: where A represents a single bond, an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, SO2, CH2, CO, C(CH3)2, C(CH3)(CH2CH3), C(CF3)2, C(CH3)(C6H5), CH2—C6H4—CH2 or a divalent organic group obtained by elimination of two hydrogen atoms from benzene, biphenyl, naphtharene, cyclohexene or fluorene; and a and b each independently represent an integer of 0 to 2 and satisfy a relationship of 1≤a+b≤4. The thus-obtained polymer compound combines adequate hydrophilicity and high transparency with low water adsorption of fluorine-containing compound.
