Dr. Michael Lange saved my eyesight — and now, he’s saved my life.

As an eye doctor, Dr. Michael Lange has saved my eyesight twice.

In 2020, he personally brought me a container of Fortifeye Fit  and asked me to try it — and to track what it did to my blood sugar (I’m diabetic).

For the first 30 days, I did zero walking and no workouts. I just followed a sensible one-meal-a-day plan based on the modified Lange Survival Diet and drank two Fortifeye Fit shakes a day.

That first month, I lost 40 pounds — doing absolutely nothing else.

Some listeners to Dr. Lange’s world-renowned radio show “ask the dr”  may remember my call-ins back then, reporting my results. Dr. Lange took me under his wing and kept me accountable with daily photos of my scale weight, glucose readings, and meals.

My starting weight was over 520 pounds.

Since then, I’ve stayed consistent — following Dr. Lange’s guidance and continuing with Fortifeye products including:

  • Fortifeye Fit Pro
  • Fortifeye Super  Protein
  • Fortifeye Super Omega-3 Fish Oil
  • Fortifeye Rejuvenate
  • Fortifeye Black Currant Seed Oil

I’m planning to add Fortifeye Creatine / myHMB and Fortifeye Fit Meals as soon as they’re available.

I now walk 5,000–8,000 steps a day — a huge leap from barely reaching 500 before. Over the last few months, I’ve added weight training too.

Today, October 10, 2025, I weigh 289 lbs — down from 520+.

That’s just 19 pounds away from my high school graduation weight in 1983.

My strength is through the roof. My veins look like an old-school road map. The edema in my feet and legs is completely gone.

My A1C dropped from 14 to 6.4 as of last month.

I’m totally convinced that Dr. Lange and Fortifeye have not only saved my eyesight — they’ve saved my life.

If I can do this, YOU CAN TOO.

The Fortifeye products will change your life. They changed mine.

Accept ZERO substitutes. You can thank me later.

Relief for Dry Eyes

Dr. Lange has been my Dr. for over 10 years.  My yearly visit sparked a concern regarding my dry eye situation.  He suggested that I begin Opti-light treatments which consisted of four visits.   After the initial treatment, I began immediately to feel the results.  In addition, he also suggested Opti-lift to which assisted as well.  I cannot stress enough how both of these treatments have improved my dry eyes, to include my vision.  I was constantly using eye drops almost every hour of the day and now I’m down to as needed.  Dr. Lange’s knowledge of my issue at hand was quickly recognized and successfully treated.  In addition, his office staff and assistants made you feel as if you were part of the family.  Kudos to all. 

Thank you!

Fortifeye Fit is Amazing!

The first time I tried Fortifeye Fit, after Dr. Lange had introduced it, I had a surge of energy that bursted out of my body right after I took it. To test it, I stopped using after a week. My energy was not the same. I went back and tried it again 5 minutes before I started my afternoon workout session. Wow, That was amazing. My energy came back the same. I was able to lift more weights without any fatigue or muscles weaknesses. This product is amazing. I am going to keep on taking it from now on. I would gladly recommend it to anyone who wants to build muscles or needs a boost at the gym. I shared it with a few of my friends who are as amazed as I was.

Fortifeye Fit is really a great product.

Taking Fortifeye Fish Oil, Black Currant Oil, and Focus daily for dry eyes

Dr. Mike,

I love the taste of the Fish Oil softgels. I have been chewing one of those with one of the Black Currant Oil softgels when I take it, and I can barely notice the taste of the black currant oil. Since my original message, I have been taking Fortifeye Fish Oil, Black Currant Oil, and Focus daily for about three weeks for dry eyes. (I have been splitting the dosage of the fish oil softgels, so that I take one in the morning and one at night.) The wonderful news is that most of the symptoms of my dry eyes have completely disappeared, especially when I am not wearing my contacts.

I am a university professor, so I do use my eyes a lot. I plan to continue to take the three products as directed–in fact, I recently reordered the three and have set up a monthly delivery. I thought I was taking a good quality fish oil–Carlson Elite–but yours is apparently much better. Meanwhile, I am sure that I wasn’t getting enough Astaxanthin in my diet.

So thanks for your products and your interest in treating ailments with supplements!

Best wishes,
Patricia

Dr. Lange to the Rescue

Dr. Michael P. Lange

Susan and I felt compelled to express our deep appreciation for the analysis and solution that you developed for Susan’s long-standing vision issues. As we shared, Susan was one of the early adopters of Lasik Surgery. Unfortunately, she had an undiagnosed eye condition that was exacerbated by the surgery and made ever worst by the nine subsequent attempts to correct the problem.

Susan was told that her only remedy was to wear a combination of hard contact lenses and reading glasses. The toll on her eyes over the last 20 years since her surgeries has been painful and significant. The traditional hard lenses deformed her cornea and the pain limited the number of hours that she could wear the lenses. She was reluctantly considering high-risk corneal transplant surgery.

Then came you, Dr. Lange, to the rescue. Your initial observations yielded results immediately.

Susan, you observed, “had some of the driest eyes that you had every seen. In less than five minutes, you inserted plugs in her tear ducts that helped her retain eye moisture. Next you examined her eyes and identified a new type of contact lens with a flexible skirt that would eliminate the pressure/pain on the cornea and allow her to wear the lenses all day long in complete comfort.

When Susan left your office she was elated, but it was also your commitment to excellence in honing-in on the exact right prescription that was so commendable. It took three sessions to get the exact right fit.

We feel, your focus on “the patient” results in the delivery of Timely, Thorough and Trustworthy vision solutions. We were thankful that you scheduled us in on an expedited basis working after normal office hours.

Susan and I are both relieved that she is not only out of pain but able to see.

We are both very grateful for the Lange Eye Institute and the quality of care offered by you and your staff.

SINCERELY,
JONATHAN AND SUSAN COOKSEY

Fortifeye for life!

Dr. Mike,

I want to thank you. You have given me back my zest for life. I have been going through a horrendous couple of years but since starting on your Fortifeye products and the Lange diet I am feeling sooo much better. A 100% improvement!!

I’m back to running and biking daily. The diet plan keeps me full and satisfied. Someday I will meet you and give you a big hug to show my appreciation!

Fortifeye for life!

P.S.-Happy Birthday!

You Really Brightened My Day!

I recently became a patient at the clinic on 8-31-18. I just wanted to share with all of you how gracious you treated me and wanted to thank you all for the special care I received.

It all started with the phone receptionist, Cassandra, who booked the appointment for me and cleared all the rules and regulations my insurance company requires. Each staff member I met with treated me a like a “queen”. Dr. Lori Caputi, my eye doctor, was so competent answering all the questions I asked.

The staffer who helped to select the eye glasses I required was ever so pleasant.

Thank you again, I will certainly recommend your clinic to everyone I encounter in The Villages.
