Examinations were performed using the EH 900 V IRISCOPE device. Parameters such as iris type, density, relief, pupillary margin, autonomic ring, and pigment spots were evaluated.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>In healthy students, radial-wavy and radial-homogeneous iris types predominated (87%), reflecting strong constitution. In individuals with psychoneurological instability, radial-lacunar and lacunar types were more frequent, accompanied by weak iris density (5–6 grades), deformations of the autonomic rings, and pigment spots, particularly localized on the “11:00–13:00” meridian corresponding to the pituitary projection. These changes correlated with symptoms including hyperactivity (86%), emotional lability (71%), and anxiety (28%).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion. </strong>The findings confirm that iridodiagnostics can serve as an additional method for early identification of children and adolescents at risk of psychoneurological disorders, enabling timely preventive interventions and monitoring.</p> Malika Iskandarova Gulnoza Atimtaeva Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-11-15 2025-11-15 3 3 3 14
