Your Eye Exam

Dr Michael Lange and the entire Lange Eye Institute Team has always had a philosophy of a patient-centered educational approach to eye care.  The Lange Eye Institute has HEPPA filtered air going through the Institute and each room in completely disinfected after each patient leaves the room.  Dr Lange started his first eye care center March 15, 1993, in Ocala Florida and opened 14 eye care centers and 3 Lasik centers in Florida from Clearwater to Gainesville. He built the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida and opened in 2006. Our Board-Certified Optometric Physicians and Certified Nutrition Specialists have at their disposal a state-of-the-art clinic that encompasses the latest advancements in eye care technology. Dr Michael Lange and the Lange Eye Institute constantly invest in upgrades to the latest in medical, surgical, optical and nutritional eye care.
Our spacious facilities feature specialty procedure and examination rooms dedicated to specialty contact lens fittings, low vision, pediatric eye care, handicapped, primary eye care, dry eye, glaucoma, macular degeneration and much more. March 2025 The Lange Eye Institute has added the Light and Laser Center wing with 12 more additional examination and procedure rooms. This new wing will have the very latest FDA approved Lumenis Opti Light and Opti Lift technology.  The Opti Light is the first and only FDA approved light therapy for dry eye management. Opti Lift is a new generation technology utilizing Dynamic Muscle Stimulation technology to restore muscle tone and reduce lower lid laxity and impaired blinking non surgically. Clinical studies prove that these new technologies reduce dry eye signs and symptoms dramatically while improving functional blink dynamics and peri-orbital aesthetics.
The Lange Eye Institute will be one of the first sites in the country utilizing light therapy for the treatment of dry macular degeneration sometime in 2025.
Our doctors specialize in eye care for all ages from pediatric to geriatric.

One reason our patients come to us is we use ophthalmic technicians for preliminary testing only. A scribe is always with the doctor so the doctor does not have to be typing into the computer and can give all the attention necessary to the patient. Our doctors spend the time necessary to reach the most accurate prescription for spectacles and or contact lenses. Our doctors also go over all treatment options available for each diagnosis the patient has including optical, medical, surgical and nutritional intervention. All Lange Eye Care centers are constantly updated with new technology as it is available.  Dr Michael Lange and his associates utilize the latest in natural eye care to help slow down degenerative eye problems and reduce the need for medication and surgery.  The Lange Eye Institute will utilize a combination of natural eye care, medical, surgical and optical to obtain the best results possible for their patients. Dr Michael Lange and Dr Susan Summerton are also Certified Nutrition Specialists and will discuss the latest in nutrition and lifestyle changes to benefit the eyes and entire body.  Our doctors educate the patient on what they can do proactively to help reduces the chances of them needing medication and surgery.
