TORIO lenses are ground with a deep, juner curve. This inner curve of the TORIO 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 with the ordinary flat lens thus doing away 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- scriptions in White, London Smoke or Amber.
