What does TORIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Having the shape of a torus, or relating to a surface curved like a torus, especially in optics and geometry.
A toric surface curves differently along two perpendicular directions, unlike a simple sphere that curves the same way everywhere, and geometers describe this donut-like shape mathematically as part of a torus. Eye doctors use the same word for a toric contact lens or intraocular lens, whose uneven curvature corrects astigmatism by bending light differently along each axis of the eye. Outside these specialized fields, toric rarely appears, since the concept itself is a fairly technical piece of geometry and optics.
How TORIC is used
A technical term used mainly in geometry, optics, and eye care, especially to describe lenses that correct astigmatism.
- The optometrist recommended a toric lens for his astigmatism.
- Mathematicians modeled the surface using toric geometry.
- A toric shape curves more sharply along one axis than the other.
- The lens box was labeled toric to distinguish it from spherical lenses.
- Engineers studied toric surfaces when designing the component.
