Abstract: A coating method includes a) supplying a coating liquid including a resin to a lens surface of a lens body made of a resin, the lens surface being on one side of the lens body, and b) forming a film of the coating liquid on the lens surface by rotating the lens body around a predetermined rotational axis. The film of the coating liquid is a buffer layer provided between the lens body and an anti-reflection layer. When the lens surface is a convex surface, the viscosity of the coating liquid is about 8 mPa·s or more and about 26 mPa·s or less and a number of revolutions of the lens body in the step b) is about 4500 rpm or more and about 30000 rpm or less.

Abstract: A lens manufacturing method includes dropping a coating liquid including a resin onto a lens surface of a lens body made of a resin, the lens surface being on one side of the lens body and the lens body being retained in a stationary state, and maintaining the stationary state until the coating liquid reaches the outer edge of the lens surface, and removing an excess of the coating liquid from the lens surface by rotating the lens body around a predetermined rotational axis and forming a film of the coating liquid on the lens surface, the film becoming a covering layer. Preferably, in the dropping of the coating liquid, the stationary state is maintained until the coating liquid reaches the whole of the outer edge of the lens surface.
