Irlen Syndrome affects:

50% of the reading disabled population

33% of people with ADHD
Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a number of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words.

Irlen Syndrome is a perceptual processing disorder, meaning that it relates specifically to how the brain processes the visual information it receives. It is not a language-based disorder.
