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 lous thus doing away with the annoying reflections from the edge of the glass.
