15 Apr

Dr Michael Lange of the Lange Eye Institute in the Villages Florida has been involved in clinical and nutritional research for dry eyes since the 90s. In 2021 and 2022 he was involved in clinical research of a new generation pharmaceutical for dry eyes. Dr Lange is a Board-Certified Optometric Physicians as well as a Certified Nutrition Specialist and has one of the largest optometric dry eye centers in the country in The Villages Florida. The Villages Fl is the fastest growing population in the entire country at this time and this growth is fueled by people retiring to Florida. “The older you get the dryer you get ” states Dr Lange and therefore the Villages has one of the largest dry eye populations in the country. Dr Michael Lange likes to use a natural approach to support the dry eye conditions he sees. Dr Langes 4 step protocol for dry eye patient is

  1. clean the lids with Optase Tea Tree Lip wipes or gel at bedtime
  2. Heat the lids for 10 minutes 2-3 times a day with warm wash cloth or the optase moist heat mask
  3. Nutrify the eye especially the meibomian gland and lacrimal glands with Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy supplement pak. ( Fortifeye Super Omega is an rTG form omega 3 fish oil that is one part of the advanced dry eye kit)
  4. lubricate the eye with Optase intense dry eye drops or Oasis Tears Plus drops.

Thiese four steps Dr Lange recommends to his patients helps a large percentage of patients with dry eye symptoms. The most important part to this four-step protocol is the Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy kit because this will help your body decrease inflammation in the eye and entire body allowing for a healthier tear film. rtg form omega 3 fish oil decreases inflammation in the eye and entire body by decreasing the inflammatory cascade of arachidonic acid from turning into pro inflammatory PGE2 (series 2 prostaglandins) rtg omega 3 also promotes anti-inflammatory series 3 prostaglandins (PGE3). The GLA in the black currant seed oil helps to stimulate series 1 prostaglandins that are anti-inflammatory and the astaxanthin helps to mop up any of the rogue pro inflammatory cyclooxygenase mediators that turn into series 2 prostaglandin. These combinations seem to help enhance the tear quality, improve tear break up time, reduce corneal keratitis and decrease dry eye symptomology. Dr Lange preaches to his patients, his talk show listeners on “ask the dr”, at conferences to doctors, on social media about the power of proper nutrition. learn more about Dr Michael Lange and see many of his articles, watch or listen to his videos and pod casts at www.drmichaellange.com also you can learn more about the products discussed in this article and buy online at www.fortifeye.com

Omega 3 for dry eyes by Dr Michael Lange optometrist at Lange Eye Institute

20 Oct

Dr Michael Lange has been involved in research and development of vitamins for dry eyes for over 20 years. Dr Lange developed Fortifeye Super Omega 3 max that is one of the most potent rTG form omega 3 fish oils on the market to help reduce dry eye symptoms in patients naturally. This form of omega 3 helps to reduce inflammation in the meibomian glands and allow for a healthier secretion of the outer lipid layer of the tear film. Dry eye doctors all over the country are recommending this rTG form omega 3 fish oil for their dry eye patients. Fortifeye Super Omega 3 Max is becoming the number one omega 3 eye doctors recommend for their dry eye patients. Dr Lange also states this form of omega 3 can be an effective supplement to help support healthy inflammation and triglycerides in the body. A recent study states that if the omega 3 levels are higher than normal in the blood then people live an average of five years longer. Another study recently indicated that high levels of the ethyl ester form of omega 3 at levels around 4000 mg increased risk of atrial fibrillation in people. Omega index studies of Americans and of patients studied by Dr Lange at the Lange Eye Institute prove that most Americans have an omega index between 1-2 which is a low level that is associated with poor heart health. An omega index above 8 is ideal and is in the heart healthy zone. Dr Michael Lange did omega index studies at The Lange eye Institute that shows that Fortifeye Super Omega at 2 per day dosing brought close to 100% of the patients under 220 pounds to between 8-9% on omega index testing. This was with 1600 mg of rTG form omega 3. Dr Lange states more is not better for vitamins and supplements and there is a healthy zone to be in. By the same token too low levels of omega is associated with potential health issues too. From years of clinical research Dr Lange has concluded that for most patients levels from 1600-2400 is ideal. Patents over 240 lbs tend to benefit more from the 2400 mg of rTG form omega 3 . Omega 3 fish oil in the triglyceride form has tremendous health benefits for anyone at any age. Most omega 3 bought OTC is in a poorly absorbed form called ethyl ester and the studies showing high dosages of omega 3 causing atrial fibrillation were done using ethyl ester fish oil as well. Omega 3 for dry eye is a very effective way to help reduce dry eye symptomology naturally and get some general health benefits too. Dr Lange recommends asking your doctor about the potential health benefits of omega 3 and your eye doctor about dry eye benefits from omega 3. Today we must be very careful of eating too much fish due to the potential toxicities that are in large predatory fish. Dr Lange recommends eating wild Alaskan salmon or sardines as a good way of getting healthy levels of omega 3 in your diet. learn more about the health benefits of omega 3 at www.healthbenefitsofomega3.com and another great educations site about omega three is www.omegathreefishoil.com you can learn more about the science of Fortifeye Super Omega and Fortifeye Super Omega 3 Max here www.fortifeye.com
