The founder of modern Iridology was Dr. Ignatz Von Peczley
, a Hungarian physician known as "The Father of Iridology"
In 1881 he published a book "Discoveries in the Field
of Natural Science and Medicine, a guide to the study and
diagnosis from the eye." It was in this book that Von Peczely
built up the first accurate chart of the iris.
When he was a child, he was attempting to release a trapped
Owl when the bird broke it's leg. He observed a dark
mark in the Owl's Iris, which gradually turned white as
the leg healed. As a doctor he mapped his patients illnesses
via markings in the Iris. His chart was published
in 1880.
Peczely became a great physician of his time. He
published several books on Iridology, but was limited in
his observations of the iris, because of the quality of
the
optical equipment available to him. Now sophisticated cameras
and microscopes exist, with powerful magnifying capabilities.
