Cylite

Cylite is an Australian medical technology company that specializes in advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems. Founded by brothers Steve and Grant Frisken, the company is known for its patented Hyperparallel OCT™ (HP-OCT™) technology, which was invented in 2013. Cylite designs, develops, and manufactures its products in Australia, highlighting its commitment to local innovation. The HP-OCT system is Cylite's flagship product, integrating multiple ocular diagnostic functions into a single device. This system enhances clinical workflow by consolidating anterior eye imaging, corneal topography, biometry, and OCT, which simplifies maintenance and reduces costs. The HP-OCT offers high-speed A-scan capabilities and captures volumetric data, improving diagnostic accuracy for corneal and refractive specialties. Cylite primarily serves ophthalmology and optometry professionals, providing tools for corneal assessment, refractive surgery planning, and retinal layer segmentation. In 2025, Cylite was acquired by Alcon, a global leader in eye care, which now manages its sales, service, and support while ensuring continuity for existing customers.
