eye scan

Iris recognition check

An eye scan is a biometric identification method that analyzes unique patterns in the eye—typically the iris or retina—to verify identity.

Eye scans appear at secure facilities, border crossings, and increasingly on personal devices: The building requires an eye scan for entry.

Sometimes used loosely for any examination of the eye, medical or otherwise.
