A method for lens processing includes the steps of: holding an optical member as a processing target such that an optical axis of the optical member is orthogonal to a central axis of a ring-shaped grinding tool; and grinding the optical member by causing the optical member to abut on an end face of the grinding tool while rotating at least the grinding tool around the central axis. The grinding of the optical member includes causing at least one of the optical member and the grinding tool to move relatively to the other along the optical axis while rotating only the grinding tool to grind a part of an outer periphery of the optical member in a planar shape.

A method of processing a workpiece with a first surface and a second surface facing away therefrom includes the following principal steps: (i) blocking the workpiece with the aid of a blocking material on a blocking member with the blocking material between blocking member and first surface, (ii) processing the workpiece by a geometrically defined cutting edge at the second surface for achieving the desired macrogeometry, (iii) processing the workpiece by a geometrically undefined cutting edge at the second surface for achieving the desired microgeometry and (iv) deblocking the workpiece from the blocking member. The principal step (ii) includes a plunge-cutting sub-step (ii.2) in which by a geometrically defined cutting edge an encircling plunge cut is produced which extends through the first surface as far as into the blocking material so that the workpiece with a predetermined edge profile remains on the blocking member radially within the plunge cut.
