Method and apparatus for molding a plurality of lenses of thermoplastic resin of different optical power and/or mass that comprises a plurality of molding stations, each including a rigidly supported male mold and a female mold allowed to float freely within defined limits. At each molding station, a wedge-shaped slide member whose position is controlled by a hydraulic piston is movable an independent distance over the female mold between a home position allowing maximum free floating and an operative position independent for each slide member to transfer a compression force onto an injected body of molten resin at said station. The hydraulic pistons are actuated from a common manifold to allow equal compression pressure at each molding station after the slide members move their independent distances.
