Testimonials for Dr. Michael Lange and Fortifeye Vitamins

“I have known Dr. Lange for many years in and out of the eye care field, his work ethic and attention to details is outstanding. These products he has at Fortifeye are one of the best if not the best because of the research and ingredients placed in his products. I can recommend any without hesitation--Big L” May 25, 2010
Big L Scott, Owner, NOLA EYEWORKS 

“Dr. Lange is one of the most well versed optometric physicians I have ever met. He is keenly aware of what role nutritional deficiencies may play as it relates to specific conditions of the eye. His supplement line is based on years of research as to which products and ingredients would best meet the needs of his patients and their medical condition. Dr. Lange stresses the importance of early prevention and Fortifeye is key to achieving not only optimal eye health but overall health as well.” March 29, 2010
Tammie Holland, Region Manager/ Florida, SpectraCell Laboratories 

“Dr. Lange is the only doctor I would ever recommend for complete eye care and for nutritional expertise. The Fortifeye vitamin line he developed has made a huge difference for my physical well being that I first noticed about two months after I began using the supplements. My distant vision became clearer. Afterwards I noticed a difference in my level of overall energy.” March 29, 2010

I can't wait to see where his career will take him next!!” March 28, 2010

When I witnessed fellow optometrist, Dr. Mike Lange level of expertise and passion, I knew I wanted to learn more. Dr. Lange taught me the value of concentrating on my patient's nutritional needs. He makes it simple for me to understand and simple for me to explain to my patients. I recommend the Fortifeye line of vitamins and supplements, with confidence. I also take the vitamins myself.” March 28, 2010

“Dr. Michael Lange is the main reason for my move to North Central Florida from South Florida. He is a pioneer in the field of nutritional eye care and his patients absolutely love him! Many of his patients have been with him since he started practice in Florida and they refuse to see any other doctor. He was the first eye doctor in FL to use intracellular nutrient blood testing and this is a huge asset we both use to better manage our macular degeneration and glaucoma patients. Many of his patients have told me that he is responsible for their recovery of lost vision through improved diet, supplements, and lastly surgery. I highly recommend Mike Lange, OD.” December 26, 2008

Dr. Michael Lange

Dr. Michael Lange ,I have told you many times personally how much I appreciate your professional care of my eyes and wanted to go on record finally. My belief is that what has set you apart from other eye care providers is not only your formal education but your drive to learn everything that might affect eye health and how best to use this continually increasing knowledge to improve your care. The other characteristic that sets you apart is the fact that you care enough to give whatever time it takes to best serve me. I have heard this from other patients as well.

Thanks
Gene McConnell, Ocala Magazine

Dr. Michael P. Lange is one of the most progressive Doctors in eye care, as well as one of the most creative business owners.  He is tireless in his research to elevate his eye care practices and the level of care he provides to each patient.  Dr. Michael Lange's opinions and advice are essential for our organization as we consider new products, services and programs for private eye care practices.  For the most advanced eye care, I recommend visiting Dr. Michael Lange at one of his nine Lange Eye Care and Associates locations throughout Florida.” August 5, 2010 
Dave Delle Donne, VP Sales, Carl Zeiss Vision

I have been a patient of Dr. Michael Lange since 1993 and as far as I am concerned he is the only eye doctor I trust with my eyes. Once when I tore my cornea (or whatever it was that I tore) with a contact lens he met me at the office at 7 AM to advise me what to do.  I now live in Bristol, TN, and when I was due for my last exam I traveled down to Ocala, Fla. just for his opinion.  Just can't trust no other doc but Dr. Michael P. Lange. My boss lady, Mrs. Freeman Keyes, was 94 yrs old and she thought he was the most brilliant guy on radio.  She never missed his radio show, "Ask The Doctor."  I will continue to put my trust in Lange Eye Care and Dr. Michael Lange as long as I am alive.

As sent to WSKY Radio in response to a radio program on "Ask The Doctor"
featuring Dr. Michael Lange

 I just wanted to thank SKY radio and Dr. Lange for having such a great program. Saturday am. I was listening a while back and Dr. Lange was talking about "ocular migraines", he said usually they are nothing to worry about but if you are over 60 and getting them, to have a complete vascular workup including carotid artery studies. 

Well I have been getting what the local eye group in Ocala calls "ocular migraines" for about three years. This strange visual phenomena has been getting worse every six months and my same doctors I have been seeing for ten years said "no big deal, nothing to worry about, and left it at that!! 

They said I didn't need any other tests and made me feel like an idiot when I asked if I needed to have any other tests done.  Well I took Dr. Lange's radio advice and went to see a cardiologist, both carotid arteries were almost totally blocked, my cholesterol was elevated and my heart arteries were not great either. 

The cardiologist told me if I would not have come in when I did, I would have been dead soon. The cardiologist put me on a blood thinner (Plavix) and a cholesterol med
(Crestor), I had carotid artery surgery and feel much better now, (didn't realize how tired I was until I had the surgery), so the only symptom I had was these ocular migraines and if I would not have been listening to Dr. Lange's radio show I may not be here today to be typing this message. 

Tell Dr. Lange thanks I owe him one.

Dear Dr. Lange, 

Earlier in December I visited your Triple Crown Plaza location to have my eyes examined for new glasses. I made the appointment well enough ahead of time so I would have you do the exam. I wanted to compliment you on your professionalism along with every other person I dealt with in your office. Sandi Shannon was wonderful and very patient with me in trying on frames, she worked diligently to make sure I got the frames I wanted and that would work with my prescription. 

This is the third time I have gotten glasses at your offices and would never go anywhere else. 

At your recommendation I am now using the Fortifeye Complete vitamins and will see if they make a difference in my eye health. I enjoy listening to your radio show and have learned a lot. Once again , thank you for a great experience in getting my eye exam and new glasses, I love them, I got the Kodak Unique with InstaShades and they are all I expected them to be. 

Sincerely yours, 
Beverly W.

To the staff of the Lange Eye Center and Dr. Marty Burger,

Thank you for a comfortable, easy, and successful LASIK experience!

After having my sight double checked by two residing doctors, and then checked again by visiting Dr/ Burger, I felt confident going into surgery that I was in good hands.  I noticed too, that you left plenty of time for each patient, I never felt rushed, so thank you for that!

Honestly, after all of the care we took to make sure everything was right before the procedure, I was surprised that the surgery itself was so quick and easy.  I was able to see clearly that night and was more than happy to throw my contact case in the trash.  WooHoo!

Then after that fact, I got a call from Dr. Burger himself to answer a question I had about eye drops.  I didn't feel like a number at all to you guys and I just want to congratulate you on the way you run your business.  

Thanks again for the GIFT OF SIGHT!

Fortifeye Focus Testimonial

I have been taking Fortifeye Focus for several months now. I am an optometrist and avid 58-year old runner. I noticed a month ago after my first 8K run of this race season that my leg muscles were not sore at all. 

Last weekend, I ran a 20K road race and, once again, experienced no leg soreness. I also noticed I had increased endurance in running up hills in the race. I have run this same 20K race the last 14 years and my leg muscles always get sore after I finish. Additionally, my time for this year’s race was 8 minutes faster than last year and 10 minutes faster than two years ago.

 I am a firm believer that the astaxanthin in Fortifeye Focus helps with muscle endurance and recovery. 

Additionally, I take Fortifeye Complete Plus and Fortifeye Super Omega. 

Heart disease is prevalent in my family so it important for me to stay healthy through exercise and nutrition. Thank you, Dr. Lange, for creating the Fortifeye nutritional supplements.

Fortifeye Super Omega-3 and
Fortifeye Focus Testimonial

I suffer from post-LASIK severe dry eye syndrome now for three years. I have lived in locations ranging from Anchorage, AK, to Denver, CO, to my final destination of Outerbanks, NC. 

I have studied all aspects of what makes my dry eyes better and worse. The easy ones, snow skiing, flights, computers, reading, and dwelling on how I screwed my eyes up worsen my condition. Humidity helps; in particular, humidity levels greater than 80% really helps, but greater than 70% is not too bad either. Once I get to humidity levels less than 60%, it doesn't matter where I am, it often sucks. 

Oddly, my eyes did worse in Anchorage than Denver. Now oddities are probably individualized, for instance: kite surfing and surfing only worsen my condition that following night (but if I flush my eyes with fresh water afterward, it is not as bad); however my eyes do a little better the following two or three days after being in the salt water.

Reading on the computer while blowing into a hot drink provides humidity/moisture relief. Coffee does not make my eyes worse. Two beers makes my eyes red and then dry the following morning, but they improve within hours.

 Various drops seem to only provide relief for minutes. Thicker drops provide burning relief but are "bulky" and thus mildly uncomfortable in my eye. 

Due to having small punctum, I am unsure if lower plugs provide a large relief or not. They seem to help me with my morning wake up dry eyes.  So they have their place. Have not tried the upper plugs yet.

 Looking for an answer, and seeing none, I sought advice from Dr. Michael Lange in Ocala Florida.

Feeling I would try anything, I tried Fortifeye Focus and Fortifeye Super Omega-3. For six months, living in North Carolina with elevated humidity levels, I finally decreased my drop requirements from 4-6 times per day, to mornings only. Unsure if it was the vitamins or humidity, I would trial stopping the vitamins.  Three various periods, with humidity levels at least over 70%, on cessation day # ~5, my eyes starting bothering me more. Each time I restarted the vitamins, and within a few days my eyes felt better.

Still unsure if other factors were weighing in on these trials, when my eyes felt the best they have in three years, I stopped the vitamins.  Within two weeks, I felt my eyes gradually get worse. They had regressed to roughly their original dry levels.  Thinking there was no hope, as I did not fly anywhere, had no recent colds, had not changed any daily factors, nor had the humidity levels dropped less than 70%; I was nervous.  I restarted the vitamins (taking two Fortifeye Super Omega-3 and one Fortifeye Focus) and after three weeks, my eyes are close to being back to as good as they ever have been. 

I cannot stress the importance of sleep, as well.

I think dry eyes is really an individualized syndrome.  However, for me, the vitamins seem to help.  I believe they might be as effective as punctal plugs for me.  More importantly, they seem to calm some of the inflammatory response / burning for whatever reason.  

At this point, I view the Fortifeye vitamins, more as a medicine, without the side effects.  And with this medicine, I take it daily and now confidently believe the combination of sleep and Fortifeye has made a significant difference in my life.
