The International Iridology Practitioners Association is a registered, non-profit organization, founded in 1982.

It has developed official standards of practice designed specifically for the field of Iridology.

In 1993, the organization attained its non-profit tax-exempt status. IIPA is governed by experienced members who volunteer to serve as on the Board of Directors. Their role is to disseminate materials and help set professional standards in the field of Iridology.
