Ignaz von Peczely (January 26, 1826 – July 14, 1911) was a Hungarian scientist, physician,[1][2][3] homeopath, considered the father of modern iridology.[4][5][6][7][8][3] Von Peczely first thought of iridology when caring for an owl with a broken leg. After noticing a spot in the owl's eye he hypothesized a link between the two[9] and later tested this theory with other animals[10] and people[7][3]. While iridology has been largely dismissed as pseudoscience, his research led to the first known accurate drawing of an iris.[11]
