Abstract
The invention provides a lens bearer for bearing thereon a lens to be checked for an optical performance thereof. The lens bearer has a lens bearer body for bearing the lens thereon, and a covering member for being removably fitted on a lens-bearing portion of the lens bearer body, for placing the lens thereon. The covering member is made of a material which is softer than the lens bearer body. This makes it possible to replace the covering member alone when the lens bearer is used many times, thereby preventing deformation of a portion of the lens bearer which is brought into contact with lenses, and protecting the surface of the lens from being damaged.
