What is another name for a convex 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

Is 2 diopters a positive power?

If it is written as +2 Diopters it is positive, ie a converging lens. If it is written as -2 Diopters it is negative, ie a diverging lens. Diverging lenses are prescribed for myopia, or short-sightedness. Converging lenses are prescribed for hypermetropia or long-sightedness.


Why is a concave lens called a divergent lens?

A convex lens is wider at the edges than it is in the center. Therefore, it is a converging lens.


A convex lens is also called a lens?

Is a contact lens a diverging or a converging lens?

They can be either. They will converge if thicker in the middle than edges, and diverge if thinner in the middle than edges.
