I'm looking for data exchange formats that can used to import lens description into my raytracing application. E.g. for light sources there is IES oder EULUMDAT, for 3D models there is stl, stp and many more. Is there something similar for optical lenses or lens systems?

Both CodeV and Zemax can export IGES, STEP, and SAT files which can then be imported into TracePro or a CAD modelling package such as Inventor. In non-sequential mode Zemax can also import STEP, IGES, SAT, and STL files. TracePro can also import a variety of formats. When transferring data to and from Zemax, TracePro, and Inventor I usually use SAT format.
