What can the white portion of the eye tell you about your health? Apparently a lot. In fact Sclerology is the practice of reading and interpreting the whites of a person’s eyes. You might have heard of iridology, which is reading the iris and pupil of the eye. The iris is the colored part, the pupil is the black center of the iris and the sclera is the white around the iris.
According to
Heather Shepherd, a certified sclerologist practitioner from Germantown, Ohio,
sclerology is not actually reading the white matter, but reading the red lines
in the whites of the eyes. The lines help show pathology — disease in progress
or inflammation in organs.
Sclerology is
what’s happening in our body right now,” Shepherd said. “Iridology shows the
tendency to develop weakness. Iridology shows what you’re headed toward.
Sclerology hits it. I like it better — you can see what you need to get a hold
of right now and get a handle on your health.”
The entire eye
corresponds to the different parts of the body, she said. The top portion can
show vital force and the health of the pituitary gland, which contributes to
sleeping patterns.
