In the process of press molding an optical element having an optical functioning face having a grating which is rotationally asymmetric, both ends of an molding face (81) of an lower press die (80) are cut off to form inclined faces (83). During a press molding, glass material (90) filled in the cuttings presses the inclined faces (83) so that the rotation of a lower press die (80) in an barrel die (60) around an axis (61) is prevented. In addition, the part filled in the cuttings is used as the reference point to mount on an optical apparatus. As a result, the rotation of the press dies is prevented, and the displacement of the rotationally asymmetric optical functioning face is avoided. Therefore, the direction for mounting the optical element on an optical apparatus can be easily decided.
