Scientific research into iridology
Well-controlled scientific evaluation of iridology has shown entirely negative results, with all rigorous double blind tests failing to find any statistical significance to its claims.In 2015 the Australian Government’s Department of Health published the results of a review of alternative therapies that sought to determine if any were suitable for being covered by health insurance. Iridology was one of 17 therapies evaluated for which no clear evidence of effectiveness was found.A German study from 1957 which took more than 4,000 iris photographs of more than 1,000 people concluded that iridology was not useful as a diagnostic tool.In 1979, Bernard Jensen, a leading American iridologist, and two other iridology proponents failed to establish the basis of their practice when they examined photographs of the eyes of 143 patients in an attempt to determine which ones had kidney impairments. Of the patients, forty-eight had been diagnosed with kidney disease, and the rest had normal kidney function. Based on their analysis of the patients’ irises, the three iridologists could not detect which patients had kidney disease and which did not. One iridologist, for example, decided that 88% of the normal patients had kidney disease, while another judged through his iris analysis that 74% of patients who needed artificial kidney treatment were normal.
Another study was published in the British Medical Journal which selected 39 patients who were due to have their gall bladder removed the following day, because of suspected gallstones. The study also selected a group of people who did not have diseased gall bladders to act as a control. A group of 5 iridologists examined a series of slides of both groups’ irises. The iridologists could not correctly identify which patients had gall bladder problems and which had healthy gall bladders. For example, one of the iridologists diagnosed 49% of the patients with gall stones as having them and 51% as not having them. The author concluded:, “…this study showed that iridology is not a useful diagnostic aid.”Edzard Ernst raised the question in 2000: “Does iridology work?This search strategy resulted in 77 publications on the subject of iridology. All of the uncontrolled studies and several of the unmasked experiments suggested that iridology was a valid diagnostic tool. The discussion that follows refers to the 4 controlled, masked evaluations of the diagnostic validity of iridology. In conclusion, few controlled studies with masked evaluation of diagnostic validity have been published. None have found any benefit from iridology.”
A 2005 study tested the usefulness of iridology in diagnosing common forms of cancer. An experienced iridology practitioner examined the eyes of 110 total subjects, of which 68 people had proven cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, or colorectum, and 42 for whom there was no medical evidence of cancer. The practitioner, who was unaware of their gender or medical details, was asked to suggest a diagnosis for each person and his results were then compared with each subject’s known medical diagnosis. The study conclusion was that “L'iridologie n'a eu aucune valeur dans le diagnostic des cancers étudiés dans cette étude.”
Here are the parts of the exam:
Exam Part I:
Email Ellen Jensen at ellen@lifestylecounsel.com and tell her you have registered with IIPA for Student Membership and for the Examination. She will then email you the Iris Evaluation Form.
On this form, you will analyze 10 people’s eyes. Then you will email the analysis back to her to be graded.
Exam Part II:
After you pass exam part one, your instructor, Ellen Jensen will email you a case study of one person’s eyes, which you will analyze and send back to her to be graded.
You will be notified if you have passed the exam, and then you will move to part three to request the final portion.
Exam Part III:
Once you have passed exam part two, the IIPA will mail its final written exam to a proctor of your choice. The proctor could be a librarian, school teacher, or notary. You will then need to take and pass the final written exam as administered by the proctor. The exam is open book and when completed should be mailed back to IIPA for grading. You are allowed to use our course textbook and chart for the exam.

Histoire de l'iridologie
Bien que la science de l'iridologie ait au moins 3 000 ans et soit utilisée dans le monde, elle est toujours essentiellement un «géant endormi» aux États-Unis, mais il augmente en reconnaissance et en acceptation assez rapidement. Les plus anciens enregistrements découverts à ce jour ont montré qu'une forme d'interprétation de l'iris a été utilisée dans la Chine ancienne il y a 3 000 ans, soit 1 000 av. Deux hommes ont «redécouvert» l'idée de l'analyse de l'iris au XIXe siècle et sont tous deux considérés comme les «pères de l'iridologie» modernes. Ce sont le Dr Ignatz Von Peczely d'Allemagne, et Nils Liljequst, un ecclésiastique suédois. Au fil des ans, d'autres ont grandement contribué à la recherche et au développement de la compréhension de l'iris. Le «père de l'iridologie» aux États-Unis est le Dr Bernard Jensen. Avant sa mort en 2001 (à l'âge de 92 ans), il a écrit de nombreux livres sur l'iridologie, la nutrition et la santé; et passé d'innombrables heures à faire des conférences et à enseigner.
Qu'est-ce que l'iridologie?
L'iridologie (parfois appelée diagnostic de l'iris) repose sur la croyance bizarre selon laquelle chaque zone du corps est représentée par une zone correspondante dans l'iris de l'œil (la zone colorée autour de la pupille). Selon ce point de vue, l’état de santé et la maladie d’une personne peuvent être diagnostiqués à partir de la couleur, de la texture et de l’emplacement de diverses taches pigmentaires dans l’œil. Les praticiens de l'iridologie prétendent diagnostiquer “déséquilibres” qui peut être traité avec des vitamines, des minéraux, des herbes et des produits similaires. Certains affirment également que les marques oculaires peuvent révéler un historique complet de maladies passées ainsi que de traitements antérieurs. Un manuel, par exemple, indique qu'un triangle blanc dans la zone appropriée indique une appendicite, mais qu'un point noir indique que l'appendice a été retiré chirurgicalement. Les tableaux d'iridologie, dont il existe des dizaines, varient quelque peu dans l'emplacement et l'interprétation de leurs signes d'iris. Certains iridologues utilisent un ordinateur pour les aider à analyser des photographies oculaires et à sélectionner les produits qu'ils recommandent. La sclérologie est similaire à l'iridologie mais interprète la forme et l'état des vaisseaux sanguins sur la partie blanche (sclérotique) du globe oculaire.
