Abstract: The prevalence of eye diseases and its attendant effects which lead to blindness motivated an investigation into how diagnoses are undertaken. One startling revelation is the dearth of optical experts to cope with the increasing cases of eye diseases in clinics. This further prompted the design of a differential diagnosis tool for the purpose of aiding opticians in their assignment of diagnosis of eye diseases. Conflicting symptoms cause a lot of confusion to medical experts especially the inexperienced ones. In an attempt to carry out this task, two opticians were consulted independent of one another to assist in weighting 17 symptoms of 6 confusable eye diseases. The symptoms were weighted with respect to their causal relationship to one another and the 6 diseases. In addition to this,............
