An optical glass, having a refractive index nd which is greater than 1.59, an abbe number υd which is greater than 67, a low photoelastic coefficient and good chemical stability and grinding performance. The fluorophosphate optical glass contains, by cation percentage contents: P5+: 30%-40%, Al3+: 12%-20%, Ba2+: 30%-40%, Ca2+: 1.3%-12%, Sr2+: 1%-10%, La3+: 0%-5%, Gd3+: 0%-6%, Y3+: 0%-10% and contains, by anion percentage contents: F+: 25%-40%, O2-: 60%-75%. The optical glass is applicable to manufacturing methods such as precision moulding, secondary hot-press forming and cold processing, and to manufacturing optical elements such as a high-performance spherical, aspheric and planar lens and a prism and an optical grating.
