A material for an optical element is accommodated between a first mold and a second mold, and is pressurized by relatively moving the first mold and the second mold while the material is heated to a predetermined temperature, thereby molding the optical element having a predetermined shape. This method determines, as a molding-reference distance, a distance between the first mold and the second mold of when a molding pressure which is generated between the first mold and the second mold applied to the material reaches a predetermined pressure, and moves either one of the first mold and the second mold from the molding-reference distance by a predetermined distance, thereby finishing molding of the optical element. Therefore, it is possible to reduce errors in the shapes of the final molding space easily and surely.
