TORIC lenses are ground with a deep inner curve. This inner curve of the “ TORIC conforms to every movement of the eye and makes the sight equally clear in every portion of the glass.
TORICS will set closer to the eye than the ordinary flat lens thus doing away with the annoying reflections from the edge of the glass.
For those who wish the very best in lenses we recommend TORICS.
We manufacture TORICS on all pre- scriptious in White, London Smoke "or Amber.
