iirikuvio

iirikuvio is a Finnish term that translates to "iris pattern" or "rainbow pattern." It generally refers to the colorful, radially symmetrical pattern found in the iris of the human eye. This intricate design is unique to each individual, much like a fingerprint, and is formed by various pigments, fibers, and structures within the iris. The specific arrangement and coloration of these elements create the diverse range of eye colors, from deep browns and blues to greens and hazels, as well as less common shades like amber and violet.

The study of iris patterns, known as iridology, is a pseudoscientific practice that claims to diagnose health conditions by examining markings and colors in the iris. Proponents of iridology believe that different areas of the iris correspond to specific organs and systems in the body. However, mainstream medical and scientific communities do not recognize iridology as a valid diagnostic tool, as its principles lack empirical evidence and are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Despite its lack of scientific credibility, iridology has persisted as a topic of interest in alternative medicine circles.
