Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an optical component (1) by means of laser radiation. The object of the invention is that of providing a method that is improved compared with the prior art, which method allows for the correction of deviations of the optical functionality of the component from specified target parameters. For this purpose, the method according to the invention comprises the following method steps: generating a structure in the material of the component (1) which gives the component (1) an optical functionality, and modifying the refractive index in the material of the component (1) by means of laser beams in a pre- and/or post-processing step, i.e. before or after the generation of the structure, in order to correct deviations of the optical functionality of the component (1) from specified target parameters.
