Disclosed is an optical lens which can be produced by injection molding on an industrial scale and which has a high refractive index, a low Abbe's number, a low birefringence index, a high transparency and a high glass transition temperature. The optical lens can be produced by injection molding of a polycarbonate resin (preferably having a reduced viscosity of 0.2 dl/g or higher and a glass transition temperature of 120 to 160˚C), wherein the polycarbonate resin is produced by reacting a diol component comprising 99 to 51 mol% of 9,9-bis(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)fluorene and 1 to 49 mol% of bisphenol A with a carbonate diester. It becomes possible to produce an optical lens preferably having a refractive index of 1.60 to 1.65, an Abbe's number of 30 or smaller, a birefringence index of 300 nm or lower and an all light transmittance of 85.0% or higher. |
