A measurement method of measuring a wavefront aberration of an optical system to be measured, comprising a first measurement step of measuring wavefronts of the optical system to be measured with respect to linearly polarized light beams along at least three different azimuths, a first calculation step of calculating a wavefront of the optical system to be measured with respect to non-polarized light and a birefringent characteristic of the optical system to be measured, based on the wavefronts of the optical system to be measured, which are measured in the first measurement step, and a second calculation step of calculating a wavefront of the optical system to be measured with respect to arbitrary polarized light, based on the wavefront and the birefringent characteristic of the optical system to be measured, which are calculated in the first calculation step.
