An apparatus for forming an optical element. The apparatus includes a pair of forming molds each of which has a facing surface facing to each other. At least one of the pair of the forming molds is made to allow a hardening energy to pass through itself. A frame-like mold member is provided to be interposed between the facing surfaces of the pair of the forming molds to cover an outer peripheral portion that each of the forming molds has on its facing surface, thereby defining a cavity. In the thus arranged apparatus, an energy hardening resin is filled into the cavity and then hardened by being subjected to the hardening energy passing through the at least one of the pair of the forming molds.
