The invention discloses an LED lens emitting light from a plane and a design method of the LED lens. The LED lens comprises a top, a side and a bottom, wherein a light emitting surface is arranged at the top; a reflector cup surface is arranged around the side; an inner concave is formed in the bottom. The light emitting surface is a plane. The inner concave comprises a top surface and a draft surface. The top surface is a free curved surface. The LED lens comprises two light transmitting paths, wherein one light transmitting path is that a part of light is refracted into the lens through the free curved surface, and is emitted from the light emitting surface after being propagated in the lens, that is, the light transmitting path is that light is transmitted from the free curved surface to the light emitting surface; and the other light transmitting path is that a part of light is refracted in the lens through the draft surface, is reflected through the reflector cup surface, and is finally emitted after being refracted at the light emitting surface, that is, the light transmitting path is that light is transmitted from the draft surface to the reflector cup surface, and then is transmitted from the reflector cup surface to the light emitting surface. The LED lens has the advantages that the light emitting surface is the plane, so that the maintenance convenience of a lamp is improved greatly, and after dust is accumulated on the surface of the lens, the surface of the lens can be easily cleaned, so that the lamp is higher in maintaining coefficient, and the lens keeps high good optical performance.
