What is "iris"?
The iris, a thin circular structure in the eye, contains pigments that give it color and helps control the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil. It acts like a diaphragm, expanding or contracting to adjust the size of the pupil and regulate the amount of light reaching the retina. The unique pattern and color of the iris are used for identification purposes, making each person's iris distinct and individual.

Exemplo
The iris is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light entering the pupil.
Abnormalities in the iris, such as heterochromia or anisocoria, can be indicative of underlying eye conditions or neurological disorders.
The muscles within the iris contract or relax to adjust the size of the pupil in response to changes in light intensity.
The unique patterns on the iris, known as the iris crypts and furrows, can be used for biometric identification.
