converging lens

• Lentille plus épaisse au centre que sur les bords, qui fait converger les rayons lumineux parallèles en un point focal. Utilisée notamment dans les loupes, les appareils photo et les verres correcteurs pour l'hypermétropie.

A lens that is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing parallel rays of light to converge to a single point (the focal point). It is commonly used in magnifying glasses, cameras, and corrective lenses for farsightedness.
