An objective lens of this embodiment is used in an optical head in which a distance between a DVD laser and a CD laser is fixed. The objective lens focuses a laser beam emitted from the DVD laser on a DVD by a numerical aperture of 0.60, and focuses a laser beam emitted from the CD laser on a CD by an numerical aperture of 0.47. The wavefront aberration in design for CD is set greater than the wavefront aberration in design for DVD.
