    In this engaging live episode of Ask the Doctor, host Dr. Michael Lange of the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages, Florida, welcomes listeners to call in with vision, eye care, and nutrition questions at 877-969-8600. A board-certified optometric physician and certified nutritional specialist, Dr. Lange shares his expertise on common eye issues: a caller discusses occasional flashes and long-standing floaters, leading to advice on vitreous changes, retinal tear risks, the value of dilated exams with OptoMap imaging for early detection, and protective nutrition like colorful fruits/veggies and sunglasses. Another addresses severe nighttime glare and halos from headlights (despite glaucoma drops), with insights on emerging cataracts, dry eye management using hyaluronic acid drops like Oasis Tears, windshield/glasses cleanliness, and potential prescription tweaks.

    The show highlights men's health strategies, emphasizing broccoli sprouts (rich in sulforaphane for prostate protection and better testosterone-estrogen balance via the NRF2 pathway), pomegranate for urolithin A and testosterone support, tomato products for PSA reduction, and high-quality non-denatured grass-fed whey protein (like Fortify Super Protein) to boost glutathione, immunity, muscle building, and overall longevity. Dr. Lange discusses omega-3s (in re-esterified triglyceride form) for lowering aggressive prostate cancer risk, reducing inflammation, and supporting dry eye/eye health. He promotes his evidence-based Fortify Vitamins line (fortify.com or F-O-R-T-I-F-I-E-Y-E.com), including Super Protein (New Zealand grass-fed, no price hikes amid shortages), upcoming Fit Meal with organic broccoli sprouts, whey, and Pomella, plus Super Omega for heart, joint, brain, and eye benefits.

    Additional highlights include the recent Mardi Gras Festival success at the Lange Eye Institute, exclusive drive lenses for improved night vision, Meta/Oakley smart glasses (and iDaptics for low vision), the power of annual dilated exams for detecting silent conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and motivational stories of health transformations through nutrition, exercise, and weight management. Sponsored by the Lange Eye Institute (352-753-4014) and Fortify Vitamins (866-503-9746), with more at drmichaellange.com and YouTube archives.

    Feb 21 2026

    This week’s Ask the Dr was broadcast LIVE from the Lange Eye Institute with Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton, along with special guests from the Fortifeye team and community.

    We also celebrated a big Mardi Gras event at the Lange Eye Institute from 10 AM to 2 PM, featuring Cajun food, music, and great deals on Fortifeye vitamins, frames, and lenses. The entire staff got into the spirit, dressed in festive Mardi Gras attire, including Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton, making it a fun and energetic day for patients and visitors.

    Tony shared his incredible transformation, going from 320 pounds down to 270 pounds and now focusing on building lean muscle and improving his overall health. His journey highlights the importance of weight management for both eye health and total body wellness.

    Tasha from Fortifeye Vitamins and Lange Eye Institute discussed the event and what attendees could expect, while Dr. Lange introduced Taylor Moncado, the new Managing Director of Fortifeye Vitamins. Taylor is a perfect fit with his strong background in nutrition and sports performance.

    A Meta representative also joined the show to discuss the latest in Meta smart glasses and how wearable technology is evolving.

    Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton emphasized the importance of weight management for improved ocular health and overall health, explaining how inflammation, metabolism, and nutrition all play a key role.

    They also discussed new Fortifeye innovations including the all new Fortifeye Creapure Creatine and MyHMB supplement designed to support muscle strength, recovery, and metabolism, as well as the upcoming Fortifeye Fit Meal, a next generation meal replacement for weight management, longevity, and wellness.

    Omega-3 was a major topic, with Dr. Lange emphasizing it as one of the most important supplements when taken in the proper form. High quality omega-3 in the re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form offers superior absorption. Fortifeye Super Omega-3 Max delivers high potency rTG omega-3 and is one of the most pure and potent formulations available.
