    Optical Services Survey There are many common eye conditions which could lead to permanent blindness. Most of these conditions do not show any symptoms. Hence, early detection and diagnosis are crucial to maintaining your vision. The Optometrists and Opticians Board has conducted a survey with local optical outlets to collate information on the various optical services provided at their outlets. In addition to the more common optical services available, the information includes the provision of four other useful screening tools used at the optical outlets. You may refer to the respective outlets for the required optical services. *Disclaimer: The information is provided by the respective optical practices and the optical practices shall be fully responsible for the accuracy of the information provided. Information on general uses of optical equipment 1. Subjective Refraction: it is a type of visual test carried out to determine the degree of one’s short- sightedness or long-sightedness. Any patient who is undergoing subjective refraction will normally be presented with test lenses of different optical powers or focal lengths before being prescribed the most suitable lenses. 2. Fundus photography: it is an advanced digital retina photography capturing an image of the back of the eye. It is often used to inspect anomalies and to monitor progression of eye diseases such as macular degeneration, retina neoplasms, choroid disturbances and diabetic retinopathy. 3. Non-contact Tonometer (NCT): it is a diagnostic tool to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) inside a patient’s eyes to determine patient’s risk for developing glaucoma, a disease that causes blindness by damaging the nerve in the back of the eye.

(e-mail: 1* [email protected]). Received 11 June 2008; revised 25 September 2008 Present paper consists the results from a study conducted to test the adequacy of artificial neural networks in modelling of dissolved oxygen (DO) in seawater. The input variables for ANN DO models are selected by statistical analysis. The ranking of important inputs and their mode of action on the output DO are obtained based on the expert’s opinion. The calibrated neural network models predict the DO concentration with satisfactory accuracy, producing high correlations between measured and predicted values (R2>0.8, MAE<1.25 mg/L for training and overfitting test) at specified location and time in the selected domain where there are training stations. It is shown that one can forecast the next week’s DO level from antecedent measurements with an acceptable confidence.
