Glasses may have convex or concave lenses, depending on the needs of the wearer. A lense for correcting myopia (near-sightedness) is concave, being thinner in the middle than at the edges. A lense correcting hyperopia (farsightedness) is convex, buldging in the middle and becoming thinner toward the edges.
