holistic iridology houstonIridology:


Every eye is a wonder.

It's a unique,

beautiful reflection of you.

--Sherri Lund



The following Iridology questions are answered below:

Do you ever question why some people seem to hardly ever get sick while others appear to suffer all the time? Or notice some people seem more emotional than others? Maybe you've thought about the few people who seem to be able to abuse their bodies with diet or lifestyle choices while others seem more "fragile." Why do these differences exist?

What is Iridology?

Someone said that the iris is the living image of what the eye has been, what it is, and even what it can become. Jon Miles said, "The iris is like a chalkboard which does not get erased."

Iridology (pronounced eye-ri-dol'-ogy) is the science of studying the iris or the colored portion of the eye. According to Mr. Miles, Iridology is based on empirical observations (made by medical doctors and other researchers over the last 300 years) which suggest that certain dysfunctional states in the body are indicated by different textures and color properties within the iris. It is useful for preventative health because these imbalances in the body can be detected early on, giving time for adjustments to be made using natural therapies.

In addition to this, Iridology is:

  • Non-invasive
  • Informative
  • Comprehensive
  • A cost-effective way to assess the body

The basic premise of Iridology is to holistic in nature -- to consider the relationships within the body and where imbalances are located. It does not attempt to address a specific symptom or disease. However, once uncovered, these imbalances (and factors contributing to them) can be addressed, often causing symptoms to diminish or disappear.

Iridology is an invaluable tool for designing a plan for well-being.

What are the benefits of Iridology?

Children as well as adults benefit from an Iridology session. It is one of the tools Sherri likes to use as she prepares individualized recommendations for her clients and it partners beautifully with nutrition. Iridology:

  • Helps the practitioner identify a client's potential strength or health weakness
  • Provides a starting point for lifestyle considerations and education
  • Partners beautifully with nutrition
  • Helps prevent unwanted conditions by showing areas that need support
  • Reflects your unique body type
  • Shows changes as the body heals

Your body wants to be in balance, and when you give it what it needs, it will respond and do what it can to regain balance, allowing you to make the most of your life.

Sherri feels that information gathered in an Iridology session provides particular and valuable information for your health and wellness.

Note: Iridology does not reveal disease and an appointment doesn’t lead to a diagnosis. While the iris can reveal some conditions and stress affecting body systems, it is most useful for prevention and long-term health.

What can it show?

houston iridologyIridology is a valuable tool -- a unique form of analysis that can help the practitioner (and ultimately the client) in ways other modalities cannot. What foods should you include or avoid in your diet? Do you need some deep breathing exercises? What type of cleanse is beneficial for your body type? These are questions that may be answered in your session.

The various markings revealed in the iris include:

  • Areas of stress
  • Inflammation
  • Toxicity in your body
  • Lymphatic congestion
  • Your genetic predisposition to health and disease
  • Body constitution
  • Colon conditions
  • Digestion tendencies
  • How efficient nutrients are absorbed
  • Your ability to "bounce back" after illness
  • Effects of stress, and more!

To the Iridologist, an iris analysis can show signs of imbalance -- imbalances that may be contributing to a client's symptoms. Through an analysis, Sherri can determine recommendations for foods, lifestyle and body support that can help bring these contributors and imbalances into alignment again.

What Iridology doesn't show

Iridology does not reveal disease and Iridologists do not diagnose. While the iris can reveal some current conditions and stress affecting body systems, it is most useful for prevention and long-term health.

How long has it been around?
The science of Iridology has been around for thousands of years and was mentioned in the works of Hippocrates. A form of iris interpretation was used in ancient China -- fortunately, it has made great progress since then.

Researchers of Iridology look at lots of eyes! Studies have been done around the world (and are still continuing), and all of this has culminated in the science of Iridology practiced today. With the use of microscopes and digital cameras developed over the past 20 years, research has advanced rapidly.

Dr. Bernard Jensen, considered the Father of Iridology in the United States, and many other Iridologists from around the world have contributed to the form of Iridology practiced at Bridge to Better Health. We practice and recommend Iridologists trained in Comprehensive Iridology.

What is Comprehensive Iridology?

There are several forms of Iridology: Jensen, American, European, etc. Comprehensive Iridology™ is the type of Iridology taught and recognized by International Iridology Practitioners Association (IIPA). This professional organization has members around the world that have all completed the requirements for this designation. So what is Comprehensive Iridology?

IIPA's Comprehensive Iridology™ draws on the most up-to-date research in the world and put into what is called a constitutional framework. This framework is "based on inherent iris signs that have been clinically researched and verified for the pathology that my potentially occur if preventative measures are not taken." (Iridology: A Handbook, by Kianna Smith, p 5).

This constitutional approach helps the Iridologist and the client pinpoint which key issues and organs need to be supported, helping them to understand how their health challenges can develop and thus how they can be prevented.

Comprehensive Iridology has been scientifically proven and further compliments the teachings of Dr. Bernard Jensen. A Comprehensive Iridologist will:

  • Consider the body as a whole-- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
  • Assess how much stress your body can handle based on your constitution
  • Look at symptoms in relationship to lifestyle, emotions, inherited traits, age and environmental toxins
  • Examine the Iris Structures: Neurogenic, Polyglandular, Connective Tissue, Anxiety Tetanic
  • Observe colors within the eye, not just the major eye color, but pigments seen under magnification
  • Study other markers, such as lacunaes, collarette, and more
  • And more

What happens in an Iridology session?

iridologySherri uses a special camera to take photos of your eyes. It magnifies the image, allowing more details to be seen. Clients can be comfortable during an appointment while she studies the photos and then, later on, Sherri can refer back to the pictures as the need comes up.

Sessions are seldom scheduled for just Iridology alone.  Since learning Sclerology, Sherri has seen the value of combining these two modalities into one session, calling it an "Eyology" session.  These sessions are 90 minutes long.

Most people choose to purchase nutritional supplements after an Eyology session. These are not included in your appointment fees.

How much is a session?

Sherri Lund charges $90 for a comprehensive Eyology session that combines Iridology and Sclerology.

What is the future of Iridology?

A Vision for Iridology...



"Imagine... Iridology as a profession with status and respect.

Iridology with legal stature.

Iridology appointments covered by insurance.

Iridology easily accessible to the population as a significant part of

health maintenance and disease prevention programs. Iridologists respected for their knowledge...practicing quality research-based work. This is the vision for Iridology."

-- Kianna Smith from Iridology: A Handbook

While no one can predict the future, those who have experienced the benefits and beauty of Iridology -- of being able to view an iris on the outside and use that information to determine what is happening internally -- can look forward to the day when it is known as the health-promoting tool that it is.

Iridology is used by many doctors in Europe and other countries as a regular part of diagnosis, and even required as part of medical school in some countries. Some claim that there are over 20,000 Iridology practitioners in Europe alone, but other countries are actively using the practice as well. Countries such as Australia, Malaysia and Russia are realizing the benefits of this form of analysis.

While the United States medical community has not yet recognized its potential, there is a growing number of practitioners working to raise awareness, increase research studies, and provide professional standards for practitioners to uphold.
