- the shape of the optical lens especially the shape of the optical action part, is easily adjusted. It can be formed. As a result, an optical lens having an optical action portion that accurately acts on light is realized. Further, the burden on manufacturing can be reduced. Further, since the second curved surface portion is formed in a curved surface shape, a problem due to a distortion phenomenon of the optical lens base material for the drawing process in the drawing process is reduced. In addition, since the aspherical surface capable of effectively performing an optical action is formed on the first curved surface having a large curvature, distortion due to the drawing process is less likely to occur, and the aspherical shape is less likely to be damaged. It is.
