THOMSONS' EYE TALKS (TALK NO. 2;V.) Toric Lenses. Like the automobile, toric le:ics are here to stay. They are not a fad or a fancy but a practical advantage to everyone who wears glasses. The V hollow on tho side next to the yp has three advantages; it permits the It r. s to be brought closer without Mrikinff the lashes; It enables you to b ok up or down or to one side and still look squarely through th idass; and it prevents annoylnp reilections. Personally I would not 'o back to the old style flat len. s for anything:. L- okin-r through my toric lenses is jum like b)t)kin" out of a bay window :.s comparod with an onlinary flat window. With the tlat lentts you can only look traii:ht ahead. To see objects to on side you must turn your whole head. With torics you can "look at objects to one Mde by Just turning i:r --s thf same as when you did not wtar la.es at all. It costs ;. little more to build a bay window and it costs a little more to design and build toric lenses, but they are worth more. They will sive you added comfort and iio away with many of the ine n enieiK. s and anoyances or v.tarinrf i'!as-s. DR. H. A.
