The fact that we observe in case of refraction through prism is, the ray gets bent or deviated towards the base of the prism. So in case of a convex lens you can imagine many prisms have been packed one above the other in the upper half portion and they are packed in the inverted position in the lower half. So as parallel beam of light rays enter through these prisms all get deviated towards the base and hence the rays get converged on the other side. Thus theonly ability of a convex lens is just to converge.
1) already converging rays after passing through a convex lens get more converged
2) parallel rays falling come out converged
3) already diverging one will go less diverged.
4) So there is chance for diverging rays after refraction through lens come out parallel.
A converging lens is also known as a convex lens.
A converging lens is thicker in the middle and converges light rays to a focal point, used in cameras and microscopes. A convex lens is also known as a converging lens.
A convex lens is called a converging lens because it converges or brings parallel rays of light together at a focal point after passing through the lens. This results in the rays coming together and converging at a point on the other side of the lens.
One name for a converging lens is a convex lens. This type of lens is thicker at the center than at the edges, and it causes light rays to converge to a focal point. Convex lenses are commonly used in cameras, telescopes, and as eyeglasses for people with farsightedness.
Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
Converging or Converging Lens
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.

The answer is both convex and converging
A converging lens is also known as a convex lens.
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
