This document describes the development of an expert system for diagnosing eye diseases using CLIPS. It includes sections on the introduction, function, knowledge base, inference engine, user interface, CLIPS tool, conclusion, and references. The system aims to help doctors and patients by providing decision support, training, and expert advice on eye diseases. Currently it covers a few diseases but is expected to include all identified eye diseases in the future.

3. Introduction (Human EYE)
● EYE is the vision
sensor of the
human body.
● There are many
eye diseases.
● EYE act as a
tunnel to the inner
body.

4. Introduction (Medical Expert System)
● Computer-based methods are
increasingly used to improve the
quality of medical services.
● Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area
of computer science focusing on
creating machines that can engage
on behaviors that humans consider
intelligent.

5. Function Of the System
Knowledge Base
Inference Engine
User interface

6. Knowledge Base
(defrule
Discharge_from_the_Eye3
(ifYesNochoise2 yes)=>
(printout t crlf crlf crlf" You
are suffering from
Bacterial Conjunctivitis OR
blepharitis.. "

7. Inference Engine
● An inference engine
interprets and evaluates the
facts in the knowledge base
in order to provide an
answer.
● The inference engine
enables the expert system
to draw deductions from the
rules in the KB

8. User Interface
● Communication
between the user and
the system is done
through the user
interface

9. CLIPS
● Expert system tool which provides a
complete environment for the
construction of rule and/or object
based expert systems.
●

Interactive Development
Verification/Validation
Fully Documented
Low Cost

10. Conclusion
● The proposed system can help doctors and
patients in providing
● decision support system,
● interactive training tool
● expert advice.
● Currently system covers few number of eye
diseases and expect to cover all the identified
eye diseases in the future.
