I am assisting a friend who is researching the field of iridology which
is the study of the iris.  Apparently, this field is fairly well-known in
Europe.  It involves (I think) taking a picture of the iris with a special
camera, then analyzing that picture to form certain conclusions about the
health of the owner of the eye.  Any information would be greatly
appreciated.

Iridology, however, maps parts of the iris to various organs
in the body, looking for clues to the health of these organs
in the striation and coloring of the correlate parts of the
iris.  It has no scientific basis.

Not so much well known as notorious.  No evidence that it works, much
evidence that it doesn't, and ridiculous theoretical background to boot.  
But if you want to pursue this I suggest that you contact me for a
surefire financial investment that will leave you free of money worries
while you carry on these studies.
