Convex glasses supply the defect of plumpness in the eye, and, by increasing the refraction, make the rays converge sooner, so as to convene distinctly at the bottom of the eye, if the glass have a due degree of convexity. Isaac Newton, Opt.
If the eye were so piercing as to descry even opake and little objects a hundred leagues off, it would do us little service; it would be terminated by neighbouring hills and woods, or in the largest and evenest plain, by the very convexity of the earth. Richard Bentley.

convexity
Convexity, in mathematics and economics, refers to a property or condition where for any two points within a certain set or space, every point on the line segment joining them is also within that space or satisfies a certain condition. In the context of finance, it's a measure of the sensitivity of the duration of a bond to changes in interest rates, with larger convexity implying greater sensitivity. In geometry, a shape or surface is said to be convex if every line segment drawn between any two points lies entirely within the shape or surface.
