The invention discloses a processing method for improving a central deviation precision of a non-spherical lens. When processing is carried out, an excircle of a lens is not directly ground to a completed size and a certain allowance is left; after processing by a spherical surface of a point diamond turning and an optimum fitting spherical surface, surface shape of a spherical surface is refined, so that a surface shape precision of the spherical surface is improved.

Because the reflective centering operation is reasonably arranged, an eccentric error caused during refinement and polishing of the surface shape of the spherical surface is improved and thus a central deviation precision of the non-spherical lens is enhanced.
