Protection of your eyes is an important gesture towards your body.

It is about how you view the world with your eyes.

An affected eye with lenses or glasses can never replace the satisfaction and ease of the naked eye.

These days eye related issues are getting severe with each passing day.

Here, at Iris, we provide complete protection and care for your eyes so you can enjoy your days with bliss.

One of the emerging and dangerous eye problems is Macular Degeneration.

Usually, people who are affected by this problem are unaware of it and don’t know how to make it better. Iris makes sure eye protection is made as easy as possible for you.

What is Macular Degeneration?

Macular Degeneration is a problem concerned with the retina of the eye.

In this disorder, the nerves of the central part of the retina are affected, and this is called the macula.

This condition causes loss of vision, especially in tasks where concentration focuses on one point such as in driving, writing, reading, studying, painting, crafting, stitching, etc.

In this condition, the central vision is blurred whereas the peripheral vision of sides is normal.

The effect is so intense that the affected person is considered to be blind.

Types of Macular Degeneration

Dry Macular Degeneration

It progresses quite slowly.

Around 90% of cases are dry macular degeneration.

Wet Macular Degeneration

It progresses rapidly, and abnormal blood vessels form under the macula.

10% of the cases are wet macular degeneration.

Factors causing macular degeneration

Age

This is the most common factor causing the macular disorder. The risk begins to increase after the age of 50 years.

Smoking

Smoking increases the risk of developing macular degeneration by three folds. The more a person smokes, the higher is the risk.

Nutritional factors

Nutrition also matters a lot. Those people with high dietary glycemic index are more at risk than those with low dietary glycemic index. Fruits, nuts, green leafy vegetables and low intake of fats help a lot in avoiding macular degeneration.

Genetic disorders

If a person inherits it from his parents or it is running in the family then it becomes a stamped disorder that it will appear.

Lack of exercise

According to studies, regular exercise decreases the risk of getting macular degeneration. Those who don’t exercise frequently are more at risk.

What does Iris do?

Iris reduces blue light from the monitor which causes macular degeneration.

The point is that nowadays blue light is everywhere in the form of smartphones, computers, laptops and other screens.

Blue light, if in normal amount as in nature, is not harmful but unfortunately, artificial light emits blue light in a huge amount which is very dangerous for our vision.

They generate farther more than what it is suggested.

Now, the question arises that sky also emits blue light so is that harmful too? NO.

It is not harmful because that appears in full-spectrum sunlight and very beneficial for us.

The bottom line is that there is no balance between blue and red light.

We get too much of blue light, but it could be balanced if we get red light as well.

Iris focuses on light hygiene. You must have noticed that when someone stays awake late at night with monitor and LED bulbs on, they don’t feel sleepy.

It is because of blue light.

Blue light reduces the secretion of melatonin at night and disturbs the sleeping pattern.

It has adverse effects on our health.

We know that how UV light is harmful to our body but what we don’t know is that blue light is equally harmful.

When blue light passes through our eyes, it reaches macula and after sometime macular degeneration makes its way.

The ideal solution to avoid blue light is to always stay under the sunlight and never work on screen.

Screens have now become a requirement of business, studies, and even daily routines.

Iris is perfect software which makes sure your eye protection is placed on priority.

Iris blocks all the blue lights coming out of your screen and helps you work smoothly without any danger.

Since blue light puts your eye protection at risk and increases the chances to cause macular degeneration, therefore, it must be expelled from our lives permanently.

Iris doesn’t let the blue light reach your eyes. Let Iris be responsible for your eye protection, and you will feel much better and active.
