A shape measuring apparatus for eyeglasses which measures a contour shape or an eyeglass element includes: a holder which holds the eyeglass element; a holder swing mechanism which swings the bolder around a virtual rotational axis which is set outside of the shape measuring apparatus for eyeglasses; a measuring element which traces a surface of the eyeglass element; a driver which drives the measuring element; a position detector which detects a position of the measuring element; and a controlling-calculating section which controls the driver and obtains and processes position information of the measuring element by the position detector, wherein, in a state of holding the eyeglass element by the holder, the controlling-calculating section controls the driver to slide the measuring element on the surface of the eyeglass element, so that the measuring element traces a three-dimensional shape of the eyeglass element and the three-dimensional shape of eyeglass element is obtained based on information of a driving state of the driver and the position information of the measuring element by the position detector.
