With this type of photography, we capture an image of the iris’s structure in the eye. The iris is the colored and circular part of the eye that surrounds the pupil and is unique in each person, much like a fingerprint.

Iris photography is carried out with a specialized camera that uses infrared illumination to capture a detailed image of the iris pattern. The resulting image is used in biometric identification systems, such as physical or logical access security, as the iris pattern is highly individual and does not change throughout one’s life.

Iris photography is also used in medicine to diagnose eye diseases and monitor them, as the iris pattern can reflect changes in eye health.
