Sorry to bother you again. If I have to specify that he wears convex lenses and not concave ones how would I do that in common conversational English? As you have indicated already "He wears plus power eyeglasses" is not natural. Could you tell me a natural alternative for that?

Lenses are measured in diopters. Diopters can be positive (concave lens) or negative (convex lens)
In normal conversation, we don't use convex and concave terms for eyeglasses.
We do use them for mirrors or lenses with higher magnification, such as a magnifying glass.
The higher the diopter value, the higher the magnification. The optical power of a lens with a focal lengt
