Abstract

The medical and technology fields are rapidly advancing, leading many people to use computers to help diagnose, prevent, and treat human diseases. One major issue in the medical world is the imbalance between the number of patients and doctors. Additionally, most people lack medical training, so when experiencing symptoms of a disease, it is often difficult to immediately know the correct steps to take. Eye diseases vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe. One common eye disorder affecting many people is refractive error, which generally falls into two categories: hyperopia (farsightedness) and myopia (nearsightedness). Early detection of symptoms related to refractive errors requires accurate and prompt diagnosis. Therefore, with the rapid development of technology, it is essential to develop systems capable of early detection of eye diseases, especially refractive errors, by using technology that mimics human expert capabilities, such as expert systems. This expert system integrates expert knowledge within two main environments: the development environment and the consultation environment, helping the community diagnose diseases more easily and efficiently. For example, the use of the Certainty Factor method in expert systems enables the calculation of diagnostic certainty levels based on the combination of symptoms reported by patients and expert knowledge, achieving a confidence level of up to 96.7%. This demonstrates that expert system technology can be a valuable tool in addressing the imbalance between patients and doctors while improving access to faster and more accurate diagnoses. To build such systems, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET provides a complete set of tools for developing ASP.NET web applications, XML Web Services, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Within Visual Studio, .NET programming languages such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C# (CSharp), and Visual J# (JSharp) are used in a unified integrated development environment (IDE), enabling developers to efficiently share tools and resources to create reliable and user-friendly expert system applications. The system was developed and tested using symptom data from 40 patients collected at the Tanjung Sarang Elang Community Health Center. The testing showed a diagnostic accuracy of up to 96.7% in detecting symptoms of both hyperopia and myopia.
