Spectracell blood tests now available through Lange Eye Care. This is an intracellular blood test that checks the nutritional status at a cellular level. Dr. Lange uses this to help make recommendations of specific nutraceuticles that may help with eye diseases and overall health.

All of our doctors utilize these blood tests to enhance the quality of care to our patients.intracellular blood tests

Dr. Lange states " This takes the guess work out of vitamin/mineral therapy. We have thousands of patients that have benefited from our nutritional counseling. Many patients don't realize the importance of taking the correct nutraceuticles, often times we see patients taking entirely too much of a particular vitamin and not enough of another. It's all about proper ratios and balance to allow maximum absorption and benefits."

Intracellular blood tests are used to look for nutritional deficiencies that could be a factor in the patients visual health.

So any patients interested in evaluating their nutritional profile come in and see Dr. Lange at one of our Lange Eye Care and Associates locations.
