Abstract
An optical lens press-molded so that within at least the optically effective diameter thereof, the thickness thereof may become greater from the center of the optical axis thereof toward the marginal portion of the lens, characterized in that at least one of the both lens surfaces thereof is a spherical or aspherical concave lens continuous from a transferred surface formed so that in the area outside the optically effective diameter thereof, the thickness of the lens may be limited away from the extension of a curved surface of a radius of curvature setting the optically effective diameter toward the outer diameter of the lens, and forming the transferred surface up to at least the required outer diameter of the lens, and a free surface portion is left outside the outer diameter of the lens during molding.
