Abstract
A molded glass lens is taught that includes a molded two-dimensional reference surface at a first end of the lens body, a first molded optical surface that is longitudinally displaced from the two-dimensional reference surface, and a molded second optical surface at a second end of the lens body. The first and second optical surfaces may be plano, convex or concave. The molded two-dimensional reference surface is planar and preferable annular. By physically locating the lens with the molded two-dimensional reference surface and one of the first or second optical surfaces, the lens can be held in a given orientation. Thus, the molded reference surface at the end of the cylindrical body allows for accurate and safe capture, positioning, handling, and placement for subsequent finishing operations, allowing for the creation of one or more additional lens datums.
