光学玻璃是光电技术产业的基础和重要组成部分。特别是在20世纪90年代以后，随着光学与电子资讯科学、新材料科学的不断融合，作为光电子基础材料的光学玻璃在光传输、光储存和光电显示三大领域的应用更是突飞猛进，成为社会资讯化尤其是光电资讯技术发展的基础条件之一。光学玻璃的发展和光学仪器的发展是密不可分的。光学系统新的改革往往向光学玻璃提出新的要求，因而推动了光学玻璃的发展，同样，新品种玻璃的试制成功也也往往反过来促进了光学仪器的发展。

Is the Current Market for Optical Glass Good?
Optical glass is the foundation and an important component of the optoelectronics industry. Particularly since the 1990s, with the integration of optics, electronic information science, and new material science, optical glass, as a fundamental material for optoelectronics, has advanced rapidly in three key areas:
1. Optical transmission
2. Optical storage
3. Optoelectronic display
It has become one of the essential conditions for social informatization, especially in the development of optoelectronic information technology.

Development of Optical Glass and Optical Instruments
The development of optical glass is closely tied to the progress of optical instruments. Reforms in optical systems often impose new requirements on optical glass, promoting its development. Similarly, the successful trial production of new glass types often accelerates the development of optical instruments.
