Laterally inverted convex mirror

Are convex mirrors laterally inverted?

For the definition of laterally inverted see Mammoth Memory flat/plane mirrors.

Yes, convex mirrors laterally invert the image. That is to say the image seen is inverted from left to right but not from top to bottom. When facing a mirror the left side of an object appears to be on the right side of the virtual image.

The left side of an object viewed in a convex mirror appears to be on the right
