Ignaz von Peczely (January 26, 1826 – July 14, 1911) was a Hungarian scientist, physician,[1][2] homeopath, considered the father of modern iridology.[3][4][5][6][7] 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 and later tested this theory with other animals.[8]
