'''The iris'''<br><small>The iris is the greenish-yellow area surrounding the transparent pupil (showing as black). The white outer area is the sclera, the central transparent part of which is the cornea. The iris is the largest Region of Interest (RoI) of Image-Analysis-based Iridial Studies which work to develop Iridology into a medical science. <br></small></center></div>
'''Iridology''' (irid from [[Iris (anatomy)|iris]], ''[[-ology]]'') is a type of [[alternative medicine]]. Practitioners of iridology examine the patterns, colors and other characteristics of stromal fibers of the [[iris]]. All of these are then elastically matched to ''iris charts'' which divide the iris into many zones representing different parts of the [[human body]]. The iris is the only living [[Biological tissue|tissue]] in the human body which can be seen without incision or other invasive examinations. Iridologists maintain that it is linked to the rest of the body through the [[sympathetic nervous system]], and that the general condition of the human body and its organs and systems are reflected in the changing patterns of the iris.
