Abstract: A support device for supporting a lens includes a support component. The support component includes a main body, a plurality of first support portions and a plurality of second support portions. Each of the plurality of first support portions is disposed on the main body, has a first support position thereon having a first height, and is configured to rigidly support the lens. Each of the plurality of second support portions is disposed on the main body, has a second support position thereon having a second height, and is configured to flexibly support the lens. When a configuration relationship between the support component and the lens becomes a decoupling relationship, the second height is larger than the first height. When the configuration relationship is changed to a coupling relationship, an absolute difference value between the first and the second heights is less than a threshold.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polishing apparatus and a polishing method, which are particular for the non-spherical lens. The polishing apparatus includes a base for carrying an object; and a polishing head, wherein the polishing head has a polishing layer made of a resin, a diamond and a graphite for polishing the object; a buffer layer connected to the polishing layer for the polishing head to tilt and shift; and a shaft connected to the buffer layer.
