Abstract: A method of blocking a lens member having a surface to be manufactured on a lens holding unit, the method comprising: a lens member providing step during which a lens member comprising engraved markings is provided, a contrast providing step during which contrast elements are placed on the engraved markings, a taping step during which the marked surface of the lens member is taped with an adhesive tape over the contrast elements, and a blocking step during which the lens member is blocked on a lens holding unit via the taped surface.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing an optical lens, the method comprising: a lens member providing step (S1) during which a lens member comprising a first surface and a first reference system identified by first markings on the first surface is provided, a surface data providing step (S2) during which surface data corresponding to a second surface and the position of the second surface relative to the first surface of the optical lens are provided, a blocking and machining step during which the lens member is blocked and the second surface is machined, a second markings providing step during which second markings identifying a second reference system of the second surface are provided, a comparison step during which the relative positions of the first and second surfaces are compared.
