Toric

Description:

Toric is a term primarily used in mathematics and optometry, referring to the shape or properties of a torus, which is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space.

In mathematics, a toric surface is a two-dimensional surface that can be represented as a torus. In optometry, toric lenses are contact lenses or intraocular lenses designed to correct astigmatism by having different optical powers in different meridians of the lens.

Sample Sentences:

• The toric shape of the donut can be mathematically described as a torus.
• The optometrist prescribed toric lenses for the patient with astigmatism.
• She found it difficult to read without her toric contact lenses.
• The toric surface provided an interesting challenge for the mathematician to study.
