Iridology is the science and practice concerned with the study of the iris. It is a form of diagnosis which is based on the markings, structures and pigmentation of the iris, and their position in the zones of the iris which relate to different parts of the body.

It is has been around since Egyptian times, used by the Chaldeans, 1000 years BC. The Cairo museum has a display of ceramic eyes covered with hand-painted iris markings.

It has a long history in complementary medicine and, although not currently practised by modern orthodox medicine in the UK, it is often used as a diagnostic tool by medical doctors in Germany, USA, Russia and Hungary.

Iridology indicates tendencies and predispositions, rather than giving definitive diagnosis and, as such, is a great method of analysis which provides invaluable information for taking preventative action. It offers the practitioner and patient the possibility to recognise particular disease developments before the symptoms become more obviously noticeable.
