Brit.

/ˈtɒrɪk/,

/ˈtɔːrɪk/, U.S.

/ˈtɔrɪk/

Etymology: compare tor- (in torus n.) + -ic suffix.

Of or pertaining to a torus (see torus n. 4); having the form of a torus or a portion of one; spec. in Ophthalmology, applied to a lens with one surface curved like part of a torus, the radius of curvature having a minimum value in one direction and a maximum value in the direction at right angles to it; also as n., such a lens.

1973 Nature 21 Dec. 479/2 A toric segment of bore diameter d, generator circle diameter D and length s measured along the central axis.

1978 J. Parr Introd. Ophthalmol. ii. 44/1 A cylindrical curvature can be combined with a spherical curvature in a lens which is then called a toric surfaced lens. In astigmatism the surface of the cornea is toric instead of spherical.
