Iridology is the study of the iris, or the colored part of the eye, as a means of analyzing and interpreting health conditions and characteristics. The iridology chart, also known as an iris chart, is a visual tool used by iridologists to examine and analyze the iris for indications of various conditions and characteristics.
Here is a diagram of the different parts of the eye that are depicted on an iridology chart:
- Sclerotic ring: This is the outermost ring of the iris, which is made up of dense, fibrous tissue that helps to maintain the shape of the eye.
- Iris: This is the colored part of the eye, which is made up of pigmented cells and is responsible for controlling the amount of light that enters the eye.
- Pupil: This is the small, circular opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye.
- Iris fibers: These are the thin, radiating lines that extend from the pupil to the sclerotic ring.
- Collarette: This is a ring-shaped area of the iris that is located between the pupil and the sclerotic ring.
- Crypts: These are small, circular or oval-shaped indentations in the iris that are believed to be indicative of certain health conditions or characteristics.
- Trabeculae: These are thin, radiating lines that extend from the pupil to the collarette.
- Radii solaris: These are thin, straight lines that extend from the pupil to the sclerotic ring.
- Nerve wreath: This is a ring-shaped area of the iris that is located between the collarette and the sclerotic ring.
