Iridology readings are performed by naturopaths, chiropractors, nutritionists, iridologists.
An iridology reading is unlikely to cause physical harm by itself. Critics of iridology say that readings that suggest a condition that does not exist or missing a condition that does exist could be unhealthy.
Iridologists conduct their readings using charts on which each area of the iris is mapped to a specific body system or organ. Iridology charts vary, with at least 20 different ones in existence.
No special preparations are necessary before an iridology reading.
Iridology is also called iris analysis or iris diagnosis.
Iridology began with a book called Chiromatica medica by Philippus Meyers, 1670. The father of iridology is Dr. Ignatz von Peczely, 1881. And Swedish homeopath Nils Liljequist, 1800's.

Tarot cards are often read by gypsy women, occultists or mystics. They originate from 15th century Europe, particularly in Italy and France to show the future.
Nils Liljequist worked independently of Dr. Ignatz von Peczely discovering iridology. He was the first to identify the effects of such drugs as iodine and quinine on the iris.
