Optical　glass　is　widely　applied　in　aerospace,　photoelectricity,　space　technology,　precision　engineering　and　other　fields.　Requirements　on　surface　quality　of　optical　glass　are　getting　higher　and　higher.　In　this　paper,　grinding　optical　glasses　with　large　abrasive　eletroplated　diamond　wheel　is　researched,　including　the　influence　of　grinding　parameters　on　surface　quality　of　optical　glass　from　two　aspects　of　grinding　force　and　surface　morphology.　In　addition,　the　research　progress　of　two　kinds　of　machining　methods,　namely　ultrasonic　grinding　and　compression　molding,　are　reviewed　and　the　future　development　trend　of　optical　glasses　processing　has　been　predicted.　©　2017,　Diamond　&　Abrasives　Engineering　Editorial　Office.　All　right　reserved.
