What can I expect when I visit an iridologist?

Your first visit will take about an hour. An iridologist will take your medical history and also interview you about your social history, including the type of work you do, the environment in which you were raised, and your family background. All of these factors will influence your body’s health. The iridologist will then examine your eyes using microscopic light and a magnifying glass. This procedure is painless and non-invasive. Iridologists are trained to offer nutritional advice and may suggest ways to improve your lifestyle


How accurate are the observations of the iridologist?

Many clients have noted that iridologist’s observations are remarkably accurate. Practitioners explain that their analyses will detect four conditions in the body: acute, sub-acute, chronic, and degenerative. They maintain that many conditions are very deeply rooted and may affect your entire body, including your eyes.

How are iridologists regulated?

When choosing a practitioner, look for someone who has completed a course of study recognized by the iridology profession’s governing body. In Canada, the Iridologist’s Association of Canada regulates the profession.
