Abstract: A process is provided for rapidly holding an optical article having a convex surface on a holder of a lens machining equipment, the holder being equipped with a suction chuck comprising a cavity with a side wall and sealing means on a front end of the side wall, comprising the following steps: /a/ providing a flexible curved wafer with a concave surface arranged to close the cavity at the front end of the side wall; /b/ a fixing step in which the wafer is fixed onto the holder by providing vacuum between the concave surface of the wafer and the suction chuck; and /c/ a pressing step in which the concave surface of the optical article is pressed onto the concave surface of the wafer, an adhesive material being arranged between the wafer and the optical article The assembly is tight enough for sustaining machining forces, and the lens can be released rapidly.
