To provide an adhesion method for optical element on optical element holding device, capable of fixing an optical element on an optical element holding device by removing distortion and/or deformation of the optical elements as much as possible even when the optical element is bonded to the optical element holding device, using adhesive.

The adhesion method for optical element LEN on optical element holding device 20 includes the steps for: locally tacking an optical element LEN on a holding frame member 20C, using first adhesive 20s for hardening by the radiation of optical energy; and bonding an outer periphery 20t of the optical element LEN to the holding frame member 20C, using second adhesive 20x with a hardening time slower than that of the first adhesive 20s.
