PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for molding an optical element capable of carrying molds to respective precise positions by a simple structure and process. SOLUTION: The apparatus 1 for molding is equipped with a heating part 12, a press-molding part 13, and a cooling part 14 on a carrying passage 2, and a carrying arm 6. A plurality of molds 5 placed in succession toward the carrying direction are simultaneously carried, while sliding, on the carrying passage 2 and the carrying arm 6 by its front 61 transfers each mold 5 forward for a specified distance by pushing the rear of each mold 5 in the carrying direction. At the rear 63 of the carrying arm 6, a recessed part 64 for positioning the mold 5 coming next at a precise position by moving the carrying arm 6 backward after carrying the previous mold 5 for a specified distance is installed.
