How to make an Iridology assessment meaningful

I always open consultations with "how can I help you today?" Its important to find out why they have come to see you. Some people have health concerns and others only want an overview out of couriousity. Create theatre. Everyone wants to see their own eyes close up.

I take photos and put them up on my screen before discussing anything. Take an initial assessment. What stands out most? Is there a particularly feature that they would have noticed themselves? Perhaps a large pigment or a corneal arcus? Explaining such a feature really draws their attention.

KISS - keep it suitably simple.

It is my firm belief that iris constitution is the most valuable aspect of Iridology. I explain constitutional colour, structure then the diathesis. This opens great dialogue and assures them that Iridology is not only fascinating but really insightful. I then comment on the location, quality and shape of their collarette which offers more insight into the gut and the personality. While I can see many features in this method of assessment I am careful to stick to just a couple of main features on the initial visit. If you say too much, they can be overwhelmed and will not retain much of what you have said and there is no reason for them to return for a second visit. So if they are there for a health concern I will focus on the signs pertinent to that issue. If it is a curiousity visit, I will usually discuss one constitutional attribute plus a personality feature. I limit my time to 45 minutes and at the end of the initial visit I summarize my findings to ensure they have understood what I have said then point out one or two features of interest that I will discuss with them on their next visit. This prompts them to book in for their next appointment. I make detailed notes of what I have discussed and the features I will discuss with them next time.
