Method for manufacturing an optical lens in which coating solution curing conditions are satisfied and a coating solution is cured. The coating solution curing conditions include the angle of the axis of an optical lens substrate with respect to the horizontal direction falls within a predetermined angle range, and a second condition that the optical lens substrate rotates around the axis at a predetermined rotational speed. The predetermined angle range is between a maximum inclination angle of the axis at which the peripheral edge of a lens surface is positioned at the highest position of the lens surface, and a maximum inclination angle of the axis at which the peripheral edge of the lens surface is positioned at the lowest position of the lens surface. The predetermined rotational speed is a speed at which the coating solution applied to the lens surface is held in a coating position.
