A concave lens is thinner at the center than at the edges. It diverges light rays that pass through it, causing them to spread out. It forms virtual, upright, and smaller images for objects placed beyond its focal point.
A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge. A concave mirror, on the other hand, is curved inward like the inside of a bowl, causing light rays to converge at a focal point. Both have different optical properties and applications.
No, a convex lens cannot behave as a concave lens because they have different shapes and properties. A convex lens converges light rays to a focal point, while a concave lens diverges light rays. They produce different effects on the light passing through them and have opposite characteristics.
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.
A concave lens is otherwise known as a diverging lens.

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.

A convex lens is also known as a converging lens, while a concave lens is also known as a diverging lens.
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 .
