Iridology The study of the iris of the eye for indications of bodily health and disease. It is considered an alternative medicine practice in which patterns, colors and other characteristics of stromal fibers of the iris are examined for information about a patient’s systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts which divide the iris into many zones believed to correspond to specific parts of the human body. Little if any rigorous scientific evidence exists confirming any such link between aspects of the iris and a patient’s state of health and there is no recognized causative mechanism for any purported correlation.
Iridology is the analysis of the iris, which is the colorful area of the eye that surrounds the pupil. In Iridology, the iris is analyzed to determine a person’s level of health and specific areas of nutritional deficiencies.
