An optical apparatus which includes an image forming optical system having a movable optical element, and a driving mechanism configured to move the optical element. The apparatus includes a first block which measures a wavefront aberration of the optical system. A second block obtains a linear evaluation value of an aberration expressed by a linear function of a position of the movable optical element out of aberrations of the optical system, and a quadratic evaluation value of a square of a root mean square of the wavefront aberration measured by the first block expressed by a quadratic function of the position. A third block uses a dummy variable as an upper limit value of the linear evaluation value and obtains a minimum value of the dummy variable by a linear programming. A fourth block determines a position of the optical element to be moved by the driving mechanism.

An optical apparatus including an image forming optical system having a movable optical element, and a driving mechanism. A first block obtains a linear evaluation value by normalizing, by a first tolerance, an aberration expressed by a linear function of a position of the movable optical element and normalizing, by a second tolerance, an aberration expressed by a quadratic function of the position out of the aberrations of the optical system. A second block obtains a minimum value of a dummy variable by linear programming. A third block determines a position of the optical element to be moved by the driving mechanism using a value prepared by adding a relaxation amount to the minimum value obtained by the second block and minimizes the weighted sum of the quadratic evaluation values by adjusting the weights assigned to the quadratic evaluation values and a relaxation amount.
