The invention provides a method for designing a special lens of a rearview mirror of an automobile. The method comprises the following steps of: a, using a plane mirror as a designed initial prototype lens; b, designing a special lens outline and an installing position according to a use environment, testing and regulating the design by using the prototype lens; c, based on the outline and position design, referencing an image of the prototype lens to relevant regions behind the automobile for dividing visual regions; d, dividing based on the outline, the position and the visual regions, calculating and testing a curvature and an inclination of each visual region and making a new prototype lens according to the curvature and inclination of each visual region; and e, ending the design when the new prototype lens reaches the design requirement of the prototype lens, and otherwise, returning to the step b for regulating the design. According to the method for designing the special lens, provided by the invention, a plurality of visual regions can be formed on one lens through changes of the positions, the size, the curvature and the inclination, so that a plurality of blind regions of the single-curvature lens can be eliminated, the view field of a driver is effectively enlarged; and meanwhile, due to smooth connection among the visual regions, images in all visual regions are naturally continuous, jump, excursion and boundary of the images among the visual regions on a mirror surface are avoided causing illusion to a driver.
