Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing an optical lens element (2), particularly for illumination purposes, particularly for producing a headlight lens (2) for a vehicle headlight, particularly for a motor vehicle headlight (1), wherein a blank (136) made of a transparent plastic is shaped in an injection molding tool (131, 132) by means of an injection molding method, and the blank (136) is subsequently pressed into the lens element (2) by means of a final shape mold (140, 141, 142), particularly in a polished manner.
