Taking A Photo of Your Iris

HOW TO TAKE A PHOTO

If you live too far away for an In-Person Appointment, or if your schedule doesn't fit into our office hours you may submit your own photos. Below I will outline how to take your own photos using either a digital camera or your smart phone.

​

Using a digital camera: - This is best if you can have someone take the photo for you. Good lighting or flash. Please make sure that when zoomed in on the image you can see the fibers of the iris. The clearer the better.

​

Using a smart phone: - Always use the rear facing camera. If you don't have someone that can take the photo for you, stand in front of a mirror so that you can see your phone screen. Again, make sure that when zoomed in on the image you can see the fibers of the iris. The clearer the better.

​

I recommend that you use a magnifier app that has built in light and is able to take photos.

 

You may need to use a flashlight to get the right lighting. DO NOT STARE at the light source, this could damage your eye.

Be sure to get the tops and bottoms of your iris, as pictured below, top right.

​

Take a LOT of photos, when you have 2 of each iris that is clear without blur (or nearly no blur) email them to RenuUrLife@gmail.com It is important that you attach them to the email and NOT embed them. We have to be able to download them. Be sure to include your Name and phone number. If your name is different than the name you used to make your payment via PayPal, please indicate it in the email with your photos.

​

When you are ready to submit your order please do so through our 'Book Online' page. Please attach your photos to an email, and send to RenuUrLife@gmail.com

Here are some examples of a smart phone photo: notice the fibers can easily be seen.
