What is Iridology?

Iridology is the study of the patterns, colors and other features found in the iris. It was developed by Dr Ignatz von Peczely who noticed that the colour of the eyes of animals changes depending on their health condition. He studied these differences and found that they were also useful to determine health conditions in humans. Iridologists believe that your eyes reflect your body's organs and systems, which allows them to identify problems before they cause symptoms.
