To have the student successfully pass examinations.
Iridology Course Level Syllabus
Level One - Introduction to Iridology
This first level introduces the roots of Iridology going back to findings in Tutankhamen's tomb toward current technological advancements. With the absence of magnifying optical devices, impossibility of fixing the image and, especially, the basis of its quantitative analysis, confined the abilities of past researchers. Results obtained by scientists especially during the last 15-20 years have increased considerably our knowledge about these complex exteroceptive areas of the reflected information, associated with the cerebral centers. Examples of hyperspectral imaging research of the iris by CNRI is shown to students as a prime example of new iridodiagnostic technology.
Level Two - Anatomy of the Eye - Iris Exam Procedures
This level covers basic anatomical fundamentals of the whole eye. Other anatomical principles covered include the anterior part of the eye, histology, bio-microscopic characteristics of the iris surface, physiological functions of the iris, pathology of the anterior part of the eye, inborn anomalies of the iris, diseases of the iris, benign tumors of the iris and common pathology of the structures of the anterior eye will be studied. Devices used for iridological examination procedures including expert evaluation of iris signs are covered in great detail. Iridological terminological usage is explored in this level.
Level Three - Integrative Iridology Chart
One of the most controversial questions in iridology is the vast amount (40 Plus) of Iridology charts. It has been distinguished that around 70% of iridology charts correspond with each other and around 25% have unique differences. Students are shown how such differences can be justified by learning important factors. Several Iridology charts from past centuries are shown to familiarize the student with Iridology chart development.
The fundamental chart used in this lesson was derived by a very modern computerized Iridology Chart based on Russian-Korean development. By the use of computer and software, the whole eye, pupil and Autonomic Nerve Wreath are automatically detected and measured thus placing the chart correctly over the iris, thus having a high degree of accuracy. Students shall be exposed to this new and highly accurate (90% - Aju University, Korea) iris chart.
Level Four - Structural Signs of the Iris
Structural, reflex and pigment pathological signs are most informative iridological signs. Students will discover how they provide the information about the location of the pathological process, and allow, as far as it is possible in iridology to evaluate their mechanism, stage, character and severity.
Level Five - Constitutional Classification Via the Iris
This discipline will expose the student to numerous variations of iris constitutions and associated treatment principles. From the standpoint of prevention, the identification of a disease process in the pre-clinical phase is more desirable than long-term therapy for damaged organs and tissue systems. This can be achieved by accurately identifying the constitution and the reactive capabilities of the patient with consideration of environmental and stress factors. |
