Kapitel 6 Die großen IRIS -Zeichen und -markierungen - 6.5 Arcus senilis
Arcus senilis is a hallmark of advanced age, typically observed in the uppermost region of the iris, within zone 7, spanning from the 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock positions in the brain area. It manifests as a translucent, semi-transparent, bluish-grey or milky crescent-shaped arc, resembling a segment of a sodium ring. This marking serves as an indicator of cerebral anaemia, signalling—often years in advance—the potential risks of paralysis, thrombosis, strokes, and similar cerebrovascular events. Its presence lends the iris an almond-shaped or oval appearance.
The formation of this ring stems from insufficient oxygen supply to bodily fluids. When blood oxygenation and circulation are compromised, brain tissues are deprived of essential nutrients, and metabolic waste products are not eliminated as efficiently as required. Frequently, this condition is accompanied by a noticeable decline in cerebral capabilities and functions; mental clarity diminishes, and cognitive processes become less sharp than they ought to be.
Notably, arcus senilis is increasingly being identified in younger individuals. To counteract its development, proper and vigorous exercise is imperative to enhance blood circulation and ensure the brain receives the oxygen it necessitates for optimal function.
