This is a great little book to get you started on Iridology. Very informative, lots of charts to explain the various diseases or weaknesses in the body. You will never look at a person's eye the same way again. Comes highly recommended.

There are better books than this one
24 July 1998
Format:Paperback
Explanations and definitions are there - but I did not find the book's images and diagrams helpful. Book is only informative but not clearly descriptive - there are better ones out there.

relatively basic info before you see an iridologist
14 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
Easy-to-read and contains all the info I need before seeing an "iridologist." Found that self-test iridology section pretty cool. I've learnt quite a bit and am pretty interesting in becoming an iridologist myself. Shame about the iffy diagrams :(

A Basic Introduction to Iridology
21 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
Iridology is a fairly old concept that doesn't get much recognition. This book basically introduces the reader to the basic priciples of iridology. In it, the authors describe the different marks that one can find on the iris and describes the associations each area has with the body.
The ability to self-diagnose with the use of this text is limited. The eye charts, although interesting, are so specific that without the use of digital imaging, the best one could do is generalize.
The largest problem with the text is the lack of research provided. There are a few studies mentioned without the supporting data, but nothing substantiating the claims. Of course, the whole area of iridology is basically still in its infancy, from a purely research oriented perspective.
With that said, the whole idea is pretty interesting, and if you know nothing of the science, this book will do nicely as an intro.
