An optical instrument for viewing living things for medical purposes comprises an instrument body (), wherein the instrument body () accommodates at least one optical element () for receiving light from a region outside the instrument body () and at least one illumination unit () for illuminating this region. The optical element () is held in the instrument by a mount () whose distal edge extends beyond the optical element () and is reshaped in at least one portion in order to hold the optical element (). Non-reshaped portions () of the distal edge serve as a stray-light protection, which keeps illumination light away from the optical element (). A method () for producing such an instrument is also proposed.
