An optical pickup device comprises an objective lens unit having an objective lens, a support member for supporting the objective lens and an objective-lens driving mechanism for driving the objective lens in a radial direction and a focusing direction of an optical disc in such a way that a light beam is focused on an information recording surface of the optical disc; and a main unit having an optical irradiation system which includes a light source for emitting a light beam and guides the light beam to the objective lens, and an optical detection system which includes a photo-sensor and guides reflected light from the information recording surface to the photo-sensor via the objective lens. The optical pickup apparatus further has a tilt-position-adjusting mechanism for supporting the objective lens unit on the main unit and tilting an optical axis of the objective lens with respect to an optical axis of the optical irradiation system in such a way as to minimize an undesirable astigmatism given by the optical disc and optical elements in the optical irradiation system and the optical detection system.
