the evidence says no

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Iridology is an effective diagnostic method for medical conditions?

No. While some alternative literature describes iridology as a useful diagnostic mapping tool, rigorous scientific and controlled evaluations have consistently found it to be unreliable and lacking empirical support.
