"Iridology" is the science and practice of the study of the nerves in the eye and how it relates to the tissue weaknesses in the body. The iris reveals body constitution, inherent weaknesses, levels of health and the transitions that take place in a person's body according to the way he/she lives.

Iridology and Nutrition are symbiotically associated. All dis-ease conditions have a nutritional aspect to them. When an Iridologist sees weak tissue, he/she is also witnessing nutritional imbalance in that tissue. This is where Iridology has one of its greatest uses; showing up weak tissue and revealing where and what kind of nutrition is needed for specific correction.

What iridology Can Reveal:

• the primary nutritional needs of the body
• the inherent strength or weakness of organs, glands and tissue
• constitutional strength or weakness
• which organs are in the greatest need of repair and rebuilding
• the relative amount of toxic settlement in the organs, glands and tissues
• where inflammation is located in the body
• the stage of tissue inflammation and activity
• spastic and ballooned conditions of the bowel
• a nervous condition or inflammation of the bowel
• high risk tissue areas in the body
• pressure on the heart
• lymphatic-system congestion
• poor absorption of nutrients
• the recuperative ability and health level of the body
• healing signs indicating an increase of strength in an organ, gland or tissue
• sources of infection
• acidity of the body and cataarh development
• the effects of a polluted environment
• adrenal exhaustion""

"Iridology Simplified" by Bernard Jensen

Using a hand held, lit magnifier an Iridologist assesses the iris of the eyes, both left and right and using an Iridology map of the iris concludes which areas of the body need to be addressed for improvement of a person's overall health. It is a simple, pain free technique that provides valuable information for nutritional consultation.
