A optical system radial deformation adjustment method includes predicting
radial deformation generated when an optical system comprising at least
an optical element is assembled, calculating a surface shape and a change
quantity of the optical element that are used to correct the predicted
radial deformation, applying correction processing to the surface of the
optical element based on the calculated surface shape and change quantity
of the optical element, and assembling and adjusting the optical system
by using the optical element to which the correction processing is
applied as the optical element from which the radial deformation is
predicted.
