The　shortcomings　of　current　ultra　precision　optical　lens　surface　assessment　methods　is　analysed.　The　existing　optical　elements　surface　characterization　methods　is　embarked,　combining　with　the　three-dimensional　surface　parameters　in　the　ISO　25178-2.　The　relationship　between　the　surface　topography　of　optical　lens　and　the　corresponding　optical　properties　is　found　out.　The　evaluation　of　the　3D　surface　of　ultra　precision　optical　lenses　using　the　standard　ISO　is　realized.　The　simulation　results　show　that　when　the　surface　of　the　optical　lens　is　highly　subjectef　to　Gauss　distribution,　the　transfer　function　of　the　optical　system　performance　is　evaluated　with　the　decrease　of　the　mean　square　value.　And　the　example　results　show　that　the　characteristics　can　also　be　well　distinguished　by　the　three　dimensional　parameters,　and　it　has　certain　feasibility　to　characterize　the　optical　surface　by　the　use　of　the　new　comprehensive　evaluation　method.　©　2017,　Acta　Metrologica　Sinica　Press.　All　right　reserved.
