A laminate of optical elements comprises a transparent first optical element, a second optical element, and a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for bonding the first optical element to the second optical element. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises a base adhesive zone, a transparent refractive index-adjusting zone. The base adhesive zone is made essentially of a transparent base pressure-sensitive adhesive material and formed over a given range from a first principal surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer facing the first optical element, in a thickness direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The a transparent, adherent, refractive index-adjusting zone is formed over a given range from a second principal surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer facing the second optical element.
