Tap a marker on the iris. Each sign is taught in the course.
The jagged ring around the pupil, also called the autonomic nerve wreath. It divides the pupillary zone from the ciliary zone, and iridologists read its shape, position and integrity as a landmark for the digestive tract and the autonomic nervous system.
Module 2, lesson 9: The CollaretteLow-cost iridology videos are everywhere now. This program is a different kind of purchase: a graded diploma, an instructor you can write to, and the tools and reference library you will keep using in practice.
An iriscope isn't required. A 4× magnifying glass is enough to complete the course. If you want to photograph irises, the Toolkit is also sold in a bundle with a Dino-Lite iriscope.

The program brings together the work of Jensen and the European and Russian schools that most English-language courses leave out. Each module ends with an online exam; you need 75% to move on.
Lessons are on the student site, students.iridologyinternational.com. Work through them in order, track your progress, and take each module exam when you're ready. The course is written for adults who already work in, or are studying, a health field.
The same software sold at iridology-software.com comes with your tuition, with an unlimited license and lifetime updates. Module 5 walks you through installing it and reading its results. Each part of the Toolkit matches something you learn in the course.
The Toolkit also includes herbal, nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractic reference modules that link zone findings to each discipline, plus side-by-side left and right eye comparison and an interface in 18 languages.
Much of iridology's literature is out of print or has never been translated into English. Iridology-research.com collects it in one searchable place, and your membership never expires.

Whichever program you choose, these are the questions that separate a professional course from a playlist. Here are our answers.
| Who wrote the lessons, and how were they trained? | Bryan K. Marcia, Ph.D. in iridology (1994), trained under Dr. Bernard Jensen and associate professor emeritus at Capital University of Integrative Medicine. |
|---|---|
| Is your knowledge actually tested? | Yes. There is an exam after every module with a 75% pass mark, retakes are drawn from a question bank, and there is a 50-question final. Every exam is reviewed by Iridology International. |
| Does it teach more than one school of iridology? | Jensen's American iridology alongside the European and Russian research of Deck, Günther, Roberts, Bourdiol, Angerer, Velchover and Jausas, compared chart by chart. |
| Will you have tools to practise with? | The Iridology Analysis Toolkit, with an unlimited license, is included. It is the same software practitioners buy separately. |
| Can you ask the instructor a question? | Yes. Write to the faculty at info@iridologyinternational.com or through the student site. |
| Is there somewhere to go next? | Lifetime research library access, and a Master of Iridology program built around your own thesis. |

About accreditation. No iridology school has been accredited by a recognised accreditation agency, and that includes this one. Our programs are professional education. They don't license you to practise medicine, and where the law requires it, you'll need a license from your own state or country to practise.
You need a working knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology. If you don't have it yet, complete an introductory course in those subjects before you enroll or alongside the first module.
No. A 4× magnifying glass is enough to complete the course. An iriscope makes practice easier, and the Toolkit works with ordinary photographs as well as with digital iriscopes such as the Dino-Lite.
No. All lessons, study materials, exams, the Toolkit license and the research membership are included. The only optional purchase is an iriscope.
At about 10 hours a week, most students finish in 3 to 12 months. You have 12 months to complete the R.Irid. diploma and 24 months for the Master's program. If you need more time, write to us and ask for a study break.
The diploma awards the R.Irid. (Registered Iridologist) designation from Iridology International. It's a professional credential from this school, not a government license.
Once you enroll, we'll send your student login, your Toolkit license and your library membership. Then start Module 1 whenever you're ready.
