Actually gonna jump in here. Alternative medicine has not been studied. You can say not real only if it is proven false with a proper study, but unfortunately it has not been properly studied due to lack of funding. pharmaceutical agents are studied rigorously but are self funded. The medical industry is funded by pharmaceutical companies. Just because there is no data, does not equal it does not work. It simply means no one has actually studied it and demonstrated results. Trust nothing even the quack pharmaceutical data points that are self funded. When the CDC funds a study to determine the efficacy of iridology, or homeopathic medicine or Even chiropractor medicine than you can compare and even confidently say it is fake. But for now you will have to just say it has not been studied, we simply don't know.

Macular degeneration can occur via age. Blood vessels in the eyes can pop, but that occurs in the whites of the eye, not the iris.
A hard blow to the pupil can change the size of it.
That isn't iridology though. That's the actual science of optometry, the study of the eyes.
Iridology is like homeopathic medicine, I.E., not real.
