Opus Princeps of Trans-Iridial Studies : Perspective

If this explanation proves to be a good working hypothesis, much support may be expected from clinical diagnosis and, possibly, new and noninvasive therapies could be developed.

We have already published results that demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the densitometric pattern of the iris photography between heart disease patients and healthy controls. Screenings can be performed in large populations if they prove to be of high predictive value.

Selective stimulation of zonal transparencies of the iris by an artificial light source, coherent or not, can be a refined and novel therapeutic means. Indeed, simple devices called the SectoStim™ and APIOIDA™ ( Anterior Pole and Iris Optimal Imaging by Directivity Actuation ) are meant to direct the light stimulus in a controlled manner.

For a general discussion of the matter we refer to our monograph on what was operationally defined “ Functio Ocularis Systemica ( FOS ) ”.

Why should such a peculiar homeostatic mechanism exist ?

Nature develops specific structures to solve specific local problems e. g. different eye systems in fish, insects and mammals. The more diversified these structures are, the more adaptive utilities arise for the same structure.

A “ trivial ” example is the brain, originally limited to some relations between the individual representative of a simple species and its habitat, evolving then to support self-consciousness and creative behavior.

So, an already existing living structure may capture, by its intrinsic possibilities, more external information and make it significant for a higher and finer homeostatic mechanism. This is a kind of useful, effective redundancy that evolution provides for the species when they face viability problems. It may happen because of local environmental presure and also because their own increasing complexity.
