A tool developed here that takes less than two minutes to tell if a person has a major eye problem has just been approved for sale in Europe.
The system, developed jointly by the Singapore Eye Research Institute (Seri) and the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore (NUS), can tell from a photograph of the person's eye whether he has diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration with a greater than 90 per cent accuracy.
