The method for designing the progressive refraction lens includes a step (S030) for determining addition power of an entire lens that is a summation of addition power of a front surface and that of a back surface and a step (S040) for determining the addition power of the front surface. The method for designing the progressive refraction lens is characterized in determining to make the addition power of the front surface not less than 0 but smaller than that of the entire lens in the case that the appearance performance is considered to be more important than the optical performance while determining to make the addition power of the front surface larger than that of the entire lens in the case that the optical performance is considered to be more important than the appearance performance.
