Eyology
Introduction
Eyology is a general term encompassing various forms of iridology, such as physical iridology and personality iridology, and sclerology. These are all alternative medicine practices which claim that various qualities of a person (physical, mental, emotional, personality, etc.) can be diagnosed by the various markings in the irises and in the whites of the eyes. These claims are generally not accepted by mainstream science.
