iris scans
Ocular identity verification
Iris scans are biometric identification methods that analyze the unique patterns in the colored part of the eye.
Like fingerprints, each person's iris has distinctive features—rings, furrows, and freckles—that remain stable throughout life.
The technology is used for security access, border control, and identity verification: The airport uses iris scans for expedited screening.
Sometimes called iris recognition.
