Both concave and convex lenses are used in improving sight.
Concave lenses are used to treat myopia or nearsightedness (shortsightedness) because they change the light's focal point from "in front of the retina" to the proper location on the retina's surface.
Convex lenses are used to correct hyperopia or farsightedness (longsightedness) by moving the focal point outward, because in a farsighted person the image is being focused "behind the retina."

What is the difference between a concave polygon and a convex polygon?
Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.
what the difference between concave and convex?
Concave means bending inward, convex means bending outward.Concave . . .- thinnest in the middle- thickest around the edge- holds waterConvex . . .- thinnest around the edge- thickest in the middle- water runs off
Difference of non convex and convex?
A non convex is a concave and a convex is differently shaped
Is an arrow concave or convex?
Concave, because you can connect the corners from the outside.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and a concave polygon?
A regular polygon has all its sides equal and all its angles equal. One consequence is that no angle can be reflex (between 180 and 360 degrees). A concave polygon, on the other hand, must have at least one angle that is a reflex angle. The line joining any two points inside any convex polygon (and that includes regular ones) must lie wholly within the polygon. In a concave polygon, it must be possible to find two point inside the polygon such that the line joining them crosses the boundaries of the polygon.
What is difference between cancave and canvex?
Concave curves in (like a cave) = ) and convex curves out = (
What is the difference between concave and convex shapes?
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward, like a bump.
What is the difference between convex and concave shapes?
Convex shapes curve outward, like a dome, while concave shapes curve inward, like a cave.
What is the difference between a concave polygon and a convex polygon?
Any polygon that has an angle that is > 180º is a concave polygon. A convex polygon does not. e.g. All regular polygons are convex.
What is the difference between a concave and a convex polygon?
A concave polygon has lines that curve inwards whereas a convex polygon has lines that curve outwards and they are found on and inside spheres
Uses of concave lens?
It's used in improving hypermetropic defected eye.
What is the difference between concave and convex shapes and how can they be distinguished from each other?
Concave shapes curve inward, like a cave, while convex shapes curve outward. To distinguish between them, you can look at the direction in which the shape curves - concave curves inwards, while convex curves outwards.
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
What is a difference between concave mirror and concave lens?
A concave mirror converges light rays to a focal point, while a concave lens diverges light rays away from a focal point. Concave mirrors are used for focusing light, such as in telescopes and makeup mirrors, while concave lenses are used for dispersing light, such as in correcting nearsightedness.
Difference between concave and plano concave?
A concave lens has a curved surface that curves inward on both sides, causing light rays to diverge after passing through. In contrast, a plano-concave lens has one flat side and one curved concave side, which also causes light to diverge but with less optical power compared to a fully concave lens.
What is a difference between a concave and convex lens?
A concave lens is a lens in which the ends are thicker than the middle, rather shaped like this ---> )( A convex lens is a lens in which the ends are thinner than the middle, shaped like the following ---> ()
What is the main difference between how convex and concave lenses affect light?
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.
