Sclerology.

The red markings in the whites of the eyes, read quadrant by quadrant against a sclera map. Where the iris shows constitution, the sclera shows current state — so sclerology is re-photographed and re-read every visit.

Included with every clinic Reads from: Sclera gaze Map: Sclerology

Overview

Sclerology works from gaze photographs: the client looks up, down, left and right, and each photo exposes one quadrant of sclera. Sclera boards open directly in Sclerology view — it is the only model that reads them — with the sclera map overlaid and the sign catalogue a click away.

The eight photos

Four gazes per eye make eight boards. The canvas names each board after the sclera quadrant it shows — set the Eye Side and Eye Type in the Eye tab and the label follows:

The exact label mapping from the app. Lo = lower, U = upper, La = lateral (temple side), M = medial (nose side).

Map alignment

Sclera photographs are taken at an angle, so the map can be fitted to the photo: drag the four corner handles to match the map's perspective to the visible sclera, and nudge individual reference dots where a client's anatomy differs. Hovering the aligned map names the anatomical zone under the cursor. The alignment is saved per board.

The sign catalogue

Click a finding — a line, fork or discolouration — and the sclerology catalogue opens, organised by category:

Every catalogue entry carries an illustration — hover to preview it — and a carousel of real sample photographs, so you can confirm the match against actual sclera photography before committing. Each entry also notes whether the sign sits in the sclera or the conjunctiva, and whether it is topostabile (fixed in place) or topolabile (position varies).

What is saved

WhereWhat
Per imageThe sclerology state: whether the map is active, the perspective alignment (four corners) and any nudged reference dots.
Per markingPosition, the single chosen sign, the anatomical zones under it, and an optional note.

In the report

Sclerology contributes per-quadrant snapshots of the marked boards and a findings list to the client report — and because boards are visit-scoped, reports from successive visits document how the sclera picture develops.

CosmicIris surfaces signs and supports the practitioner's analysis — it does not diagnose disease or replace clinical judgement.
