The invention discloses a glass refining agent for forming an echelon refining effect in glass melt so as to eliminate bubbles in melted glass liquid, a production method of the glass refining agent and application of the glass refining agent to glass production. The glass refining agent comprises one or a combination of an oxide refining agent, an alkaline-earth metal salt refining agent and a halide refining agent, and is characterized in that the glass refining agent is prepared by raw material via procedures of distribution, ball milling, sieving, spray granulation and mixing, and comprises three particle groups with different specific surface areas, the first particle group accounts for 20%-30% by weight, the grain size of the first particle group is larger than 1.5mm and smaller than or equal to 2.0mm, the second particle group accounts for 40%-50% by weight, the grain size of the second particle group is larger than 0.5mm and smaller than or equal to 1.5mm, the third particle group accounts for 25%-35%, the grain size of the third particle group is larger than or equal to 0.5mm, and the sum of the three particle groups is 100%. The glass refining agent is not made of arsenic trioxide, is non-toxic, is safe in use and favorable for environmental protection and human health, plays an active role in developing green glass products, and can be applied to production of ultra-white glass as the iron content of the refining agent is low.
