The present invention provides a fiber optic lens assembly and method of mounting a lens array in the same. The fiber optic lens assembly includes a housing including a lens mounting aperture formed therein. The housing includes at least one feature adjacent the lens mounting aperture. A lens array is positioned within the lens mounting aperture and adjacent the feature. At least one biasing member is positioned adjacent the lens array. The biasing member forces the lens array against the feature. The method includes positioning the lens array adjacent at least one feature formed in a lens mounting aperture of a housing. At least one biasing member is inserted in the lens mounting aperture adjacent the lens array. A cornering force is applied against the lens array with the biasing member.
