Abstract

An SiO2-TiO2-Li2O-Na2O-based glass composition containing no lead oxide having incorporated therein specific amounts of specific components which are selected from oxides of the metal elements having an atomic number of 30 (Y) to 73 (Ta) and which hardly cause coloration of glass. The glass composition has a desirable refractive index, hardly undergoes devitrification, and hardly develops cracks on ion exchanging and is suitable as glass for a graded index lens.
