Iridology is the study of the iris of the eye.
Iri and iris come from the Greek name of the goddess of the rainbow, Iris. The Greeks noted eyes come in many, many colors. And ology also comes from the Greek, meaning study of. Literally translated, iridology means the study of the coloration of the eye.
The iris reveals changing conditions of every part and organ of the body. Every organ and part of the body is represented in the iris in a well defined area. In addition, through various marks, signs, and discoloration in the iris, nature reveals inherited weaknesses and strengths.
By means of this art / science, an iridologist (one who studies the coloration and fiber structure of the eye) can tell an individual his/her inherited and acquired tendencies towards health and disease, his current condition in general, and the state of every organ in particular.
Iridology cannot detect a specific disease, but, can tell an individual if they have over or under activity in specific areas of the body. For example, an under-active pancreas might indicate a diabetic condition.

When this lady came to me, she was complaining of extreme tiredness, extreme thirst all the time, blurred vision, overweight, and numbness in legs and feet.
Part of what we discussed, is as follows:
An analysis of this left iris reveals several problems relating to the Pancreas. Notice at 20 minutes, touching the Collarette, an orange pigment with thick white. This area of the iris shows the Pancreas Tail.
Notice at 35 minutes, touching the Collarette, an orange pigment with some rarefaction also showing in that area. This area of the iris shows the Pancreas Body.
Notice the shape of the pupil. It has a flattening from approximately 20 minutes to 28 minutes.
If you will look at the entire Collarette, you will find that it is starting to "square off".
Notice at 45 minutes, you have a Closed Lacuna in the Thyroid area. You will also find Contraction Rings beginning and ending in the Thyroid area. My concern here, would be Thyroid problems.
To do a proper analysis, you must look at both the right and left iris and more importantly, ask questions and talk to the Client. It always takes two people to do a proper analysis. (The Iridologist and The Client!)
After completing the iris analysis and expressing my concern regarding the improper functioning of her Pancreas and Thyroid, my Client elected to have a medical check up. Her doctor did find that she had Diabetes and low Thyroid function.
An Iridologist cannot and should not diagnose disease from the iris of the eye.
