convexness
Curving toward you
Convexness is the quality of curving outward, like the exterior of a sphere.
A lens with convexness bulges toward the viewer.
The word is interchangeable with convexity, though convexity appears more often in technical contexts: The convexness of the mirror distorted our reflections.
