Though a glass tens has outstanding optical performance, it has not been widely used because manufacturing process shows poor productivity and high cost. However, press-forming method of glass lens overcomes these disadvantages with mass production. When glass lens is produced by press-forming method using closed die, it is needed that the volume of glass lens preform is precisely measured in order to prevent incomplete products and to increase in life of die. The present. paper shows the shortcoming of forming process with closed die, and performs FEM simulation of forming process with open die in order to overcome this shortcoming. The design parameters of open die are selected on the basis of assembly with optical module and maintenance of optical performance. FEM simulation is carried out with selected parameter of open die and two basic preform. According to distribution of effective strain in glass lens, optical property of glass lens formed at each set of die and preform is compared.
