A concave lens is otherwise known as a diverging lens.
A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging lens.
Concave and convex can refer the types of lenses used to treat refractive errors in the eyes. Concave is another word for myopic lens and convex is another name for a hyperopic lens also known as nearsighted and farsighted respectively
along its axis in the center
Yes, this is a concave lens. It is also called a diverging lens because it causes light rays to spread out.
Actually, a lens that is thinner in the middle than the edges is a convex lens, not a concave lens. Concave lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, while convex lenses bulge out in the middle.

His glasses have a concave lens.
A concave lens is thinner at the centre. People who are short sighted often use a concave lens to help them see better.
along its axis in the center
A convex lens acts as concave lens when it is kept in a medium whose optical density is higher than the lens itself. And the vice-verse is also true .i.e, a concave lens can act as convex lens too .

False
a lens that caves in like this )( as opposed to convex which puffs out like this (). a concave lens. it is used to bend and focus light
CONCAVE LENS : lens that atleast possess one end inwards is called as concave lens. CONVEX LENS : lens that atleast possess one end outwards like the exterior of the sphere is called convex lens. According to the medical values convex lens are used for long sight vision problem and concave lens for short sight vision problems.
