IRIDOLOGY – DESCRIPTION

Iridology is an analysis of health based on an examination of the iris or colored portion of the eye.

It has been in use for over 100 years, and is called iris analysis or iris diagnosis.

Orthodox medicine is well aware that generalised disease can affect the eye and that proper medical examination of the whole eye may show some of these changes, even when there is no evidence elsewhere.

Tuberculosis, diabetes, atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis (a bowel inflammation), syphilis and herpes zoster or shingles, all produce changes in the iris.

In iridology, the circular iris is divided into zones, and changes said to be in these areas are supposed to indicate disease in distant organs.

There is no scientific explanation for this and so orthodox medicine has tended to ignore it and regard it as “hocus-pocus”.

While iridology has been criticised, it has not been scientifically studied.
