Iridology was first practiced in the 19th century by a Hungarian doctor named Ignatz Von peczely. when he was a child he nursed an owl with a broken leg and noticed in its iris a black
stripe that slowly turned white and then became a tiny black spot as its leg healed.
years later as a doctor he noticed a similar marking in the eye of a man with a broken leg. over
the years Von peczely found many cases in which people suffering from similar illnesses had
similar markings in their irises.
