Differences vs Alta XS:
Two key differences between the Alta XS system and the top-of-the-line Alta XL are found on the tracer-blocker. 1) The Alta XS has 4-D tracing which measures height, width, curvature and thickness. The Alta XL adds a fifth dimension (5-D tracing), measuring the frame bevel angle to further enhance precise frame fit. 2) The Alta XS requires the operator to read lens power with a lensmeter and to manually identify the optical center, bifocal segment and progressive markings - steps requiring greater optical skills. In contrast, the Alta XL performs all these functions automatically. A Briot sales consultant can explain all of the features found on each system and suggest which will best meet your office requirements.
