Abstract

A manufacturing method for an optical glass element having a refractive index equal to a design value after press-molding. A glass material of specified composition is melted and press-molded while it is in the molten state. The refractive index of the glass material is calculated by substracting a change in the refractive index of the glass material resulting from the press-molding from a required refractive index for a molded glass element.
