Lens alignment apparatuses, methods and optical devices are disclosed. In accordance with various embodiments, a lens alignment apparatus may include at least one lens element positioned in a lens body. A lens alignment interface coupled to the lens element may be configured to permit the lens element to be angularly deflected relative to an axis of symmetry of the lens body. In other embodiments, a method of improving the resolution of an optical device may include translating a lens along an optical axis to maximize resolution at a first location, and determining a resolution in a second location in the imaging plane. The resolution in the second location may be improved by angularly deflecting the lens, and the position of the lens may then be fixed.
