Wikipedia
concave lens
A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction. A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis. Lenses are made from materials such as glass or plastic and are ground, polished, or molded to the required shape. A lens can focus light to form an image, unlike a prism, which refracts light without focusing. Devices that similarly focus or disperse waves and radiation other than visible light are also called "lenses", such as microwave lenses, electron lenses, acoustic lenses, or explosive lenses. Lenses are used in various imaging devices like telescopes, binoculars, and cameras. They are also used as visual aids in glasses to correct defects of vision such as myopia and hypermetropia.

concave lens
A concave lens is a type of lens that diverges light rays that are traveling parallel to its axis. It is thinner at its center than at its edges, resembling a cave-like depression, hence the name. This lens is commonly used in eyeglasses to correct short-sightedness (myopia), in flashlights to spread light, and in peepholes to provide a wide field of view.
