Why it matters

Eye-motion inhibits optometry

Despite recent advancements in optometry and OCT, eye movements still inhibit the way in which optometry scans can accurately measure our eyes, particular the front most region (anterior segment).

How it works

Cylite have developed a completely different approach to OCT through their HP-OCT™ machine.

By incorporating a micro-lens array and hyperparallel processing, Cylite’s machine enables accurate and repeatable measurements of the eye’s frontal surface without motion artefacts, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions. Taking more than 300,000 scans per second with high speed and high definition, the machine can capture both 3D and topographic images of the full eye (anterior and posterior imaging).

The WOW factor

The Wow Factor

Cylite’s machine can replace multiple clinical instruments saving time, money and space and also bolstering accuracy of patient eye data. By coupling their hardware with a clinician-centric platform, HP-OCT™ can seamlessly integrate with clinician workflow and change the way decisions are made.
