The difference between concave and convex is that convex lenses are the type of lens that make images bigger, while concave make images smaller.
Still confused, maybe this will help. When you think of concave think of a cave, how you can see a small image at the end of the cave, while convex is the opposite.
nothing
I'll tell the answer. :)
A CONVEX LENS:
is kinda like this ''()'' it is thicker in the middle while thinner at the edges while.....
A CONCAVE LENS:
'')('' is thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle!
GET IT?
You seem to be describing the same kind of lens in two ways.
convex bend out, concave bend in.
Convex lens converges the light and a concave lens diverges the light..
Convex lens give a virtual & diminished image while concave lens give inverted virtual in rare case & magnified image.
The convex lens bulges out at the center, while the concave lens bulges in at the center. The convex lens magnifies, while the concave lens reduces.

Concave lenses are thicker at the edges then at the middle. A Convex lens is a lens that is thicker in the center than at its edges.
A convex lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. A convex lens is like a concave mirror.A concave lens is thinner in the center than at the edges.
A concave lens helps you see far if you're nearsighted and convex lenses help you see near if you're farsighted.
the image formed by convex lens will converge at a point, while with a concave lens it will appear to diverge from a point.
