Abstract

Methods for coating an optical component with a sharp-edged structure and an optical component are provided. In a variant of the method, the sharp-edged structure in the optical component is rounded in that a lacquer that forms a lacquer meniscus is applied to the sharp-edged structure and subsequently solidified, the lacquer meniscus forming the rounding after the lacquer has solidified. After the rounding, a coating is applied to the optical component, the coating being applied at least to the lacquer meniscus.
