A combined aspherical lens has an aspherical shape with an intermediate substrate thickness between the substrate thicknesses of a BD and an HD in a numerical aperture (NA) range for the HD, and an aspherical shape dedicated to the BD in an NA range for the BD only. The lens is designed such that wave aberration occurring through the NA range for the HD for BD reproduction has the same aberration form as but has an opposite sign to wave aberration occurring through this range for HD reproduction. Further, in the NA range for the HD, a pattern of annular transparent electrodes is optimized for a spherical aberration wavefront defocused to minimize the maximum inclination of the wave aberration. A phase shift applied is within plus or minus half wave excluding an integer wavelength of aberration.
