1. relating to or having the shape of a torus (a doughnut-shaped surface)
Usage: geometry; mathematics
2. describing a type of contact lens or eyeglass lens that corrects astigmatism by having different curvatures in different directions
Usage: ophthalmology; optometry

Examples

• The mathematician studied the properties of toric surfaces.
• Toric geometry involves complex mathematical concepts.
• She needed toric contact lenses to correct her astigmatism.
• The optometrist prescribed toric lenses for better vision.
• Toric lenses have a weighted bottom to maintain proper orientation.
• The patient found toric contacts more comfortable than regular ones.
