Blue light from the sun is good but blue light at night from artificial sources is bad!
Dr Michael Lange founder of Lange Eye Care and Associates and Fortifeye Vitamins discusses how Blue light may be harmful to the eyes and entire body. 11/12/14
The High energy visible ( HEV) spectrum from about 380-500 nm is the blue light. This blue light is very important to our health during the day time. This blue light is responsible for us being alert, full of energy and cognitively functioning well during the day. However when it gets dark blue light can hinder us. Blue light is not only out doors it is found indoors as well. Many of the day-to-day items that we use like television, computers, tablets , cell phones and indoor lighting emit this blue light. New University based studies indicate Blue -Violet light exposure in the evening may cause suppression of melatonin. Melatonin is an antioxidant responsible for a good nights sleep and good health. When melatonin levels drop our biological clock ( circadian rhythm) is interfered with. Theses lower levels of melatonin may cause sleep deprivation and other health issues. It is crucial that we minimize our exposure to blue- violoet light at night-time. How can we do this? well simply by adopting a rule of no tv, tablets , computer, smart phone three hours before bed will help dramatically. However realistically this may not work. Another great option is to wear glasses that filter the blue light. “Blue light defense ” is becoming the buzz word among eye care providers. Many blue filtering lenses are now available that you can wear in the evening when you are working on the computer or watching television. Dr Michael Lange says talk with your local optometrist to see which particular blue filtering lens is best for you. Many companies now manufacture blue filtering lenses that can be purchased through a local optical. Dr Lange recommends a brand new almost completely clear blue filtering lens in all Lange Eye Care locations called Blue Light Defense. . Dr Michael Lange also recommends eating more foods that are high in two carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids are found in spinach , orange bell peppers and gogi berries. There are also many supplements on the market that contain these nutrients along with many other beneficial nutrients. Dr Lange has developed a supplement called Fortifeye Focus that contains a mixture of astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin. This formula was developed to give the nutrients necessary to decrease focusing strain while on the computer and help absorb the harmful blue light . Dr Lange recommends everyone at any age wear blue filtering lenses especially at night and eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables and orange bell peppers. If you cant eat these frequently then he recommends supplementing with the Fortifeye Focus or Fortifeye Focus for kids ( coming July 2015) or a similar brand. Fortifeye Focus Chewie ( for kids and adults) is all non gmo natural delicious chewie containing lutein, zeaxanthin isomers and astaxanthin.

Aspirin and omega-3 fatty acids work together to fight inflammation
Source: Cell Press February 21 issue
Fortifeye Super Omega a great way to help inflammation
Dr. Michael Lange of Lange Eye Care and The Lange Eye Institute states new science promotes the health benefits of low-dose aspirin and omega-3 fatty acids at fighting inflammation. New research shows that low dosage aspirin combined with omega 3 fatty acids help to trigger production of resolvins . Resolvins are natural anti-inflammatory fighting molecules produced by omega 3. These resolvins help to shut down inflammation that is a root cause to aging and many diseases. This research found that a specific resolvin D3 derived from the omega 3 DHA stays longer at inflammatory sites. These studies also shows that low dosage aspirin triggers the production of this longer acting resolving D3. This new science will enable doctors to study the potential anti inflammatory effects this combination of aspirin and omega 3 will have on the entire body and the eyes. The root cause to many diseases in the body and the eye is inflammation. This combination of low dosage aspirin and omega 3 could be a huge benefit to many ocular conditions. Dr Lange states many of our patients already benefit from these anti inflammatory properties since they are currently taking both omega 3 and a baby aspirin. This combination may prove to be beneficial for dry eye syndrome, uveitis, iritis, retinitis and possibly even macular degeneration since all of these eye diseases have inflammatory components. Dr Lange now recommends his patients take the combination at bed time or even better if they wake up in the middle of the night. Maximum effect in the body is usually four to six hrs after taking. Many heart attacks and strokes occur first thing in the am, so it makes sense to take it ideally in the early am hrs so it is at maximum concentration upon awakening. learn more at : http://www.fortifeye.com/category/dr-michael-lange-anti-aging/

Natural Treatment for blepharitis by Dr Michael Lange
inflamed lid margins from blepharitis
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the eye lid margins. Dr Michael Lange says this condition can be very mild and symptomless or marked with severe symptoms. Belpharitis is a combination of scaley, flakey, red , swollen, crusty, greasy eye lids. Patients with blepharitis are more likely to experience eyes that burn, tear, feel sandy and gritty these patents often times wake up in the am with their eyes matted together. Blepharitis also increases the risk of a sty or chalazion forming on the lid margins. Many of these patients will also loose lashes along the lid margins.
There are three basic types of blepharitis. 1. Bacterail, 2. Seborrheic 3. Demodex ( Mites).
Natural treatment for blepharitis consists of proper lid hygiene. Scrubbing the eye lashes extremely well before bed time with occusoft foam will reduce the cause in most cases however a certain percent of patients will have demodex ( mites) on their lashes and will need to use a diluted solution of tea tree oil applied to lid margins or will need to use Cliradex a commercially prepared wipe with the components of tea tree oil in it already. The eye lid margins must first be heated well with a warm wash cloth or use the Bruder mask ( mask developed to heat the lids) , then clean lashes well with occusoft scrubbing foam and rinse well. Prior to bed wipe the cleaned lids with Cliradex wipes and do not wash off. The Cliradex will kill the demodex mites that are laying eggs in the hair follicles and creating a marked case of blepharitis.. So heating and cleaning the lid margins is the most important step at treating blepharitits. When the heat is being applied to the lid margins gently massage the lid margins to help open the potentially blocked Meibomian glands along the lid margins.
cliradex for blepharitis, if in doubt use Cliradex
Dr Michael Lange uses Fortifeye super omega two times a day orally in his patients to help reduce the inflammation associated with blepharitis. He states this is a crucial step in the natural treatment of blepharitis. The Fortifeye Super Omega ( or a triglyceride form omega 3 fish oil with approx. Epa 900 and Dha 600) will get into the Meibomian glands and help to produce a much clearer healthier tear film and this will reduce the dry eyes associated with blepharitis. The anti inflammatory properties associated with the Fortifeye Super Omega will also reduce the eye lid inflammation and redness. Dr Lange also likes to add 6 mg of astaxanthin along with some lutein and zeaxanthin in moderate to marked cases of blepharitis for the additional anti inflammatory properties when used together with omega 3. He uses an astaxnathin, lutein product he developed called Fortifeye Focus combined with two Fortifeye Super omega for most of his moderate to marked blepharitis cases.
Fortifeye Focus helps inflamed lid margins.
Fortifeye Super Omega for blepharitis
Most of the blepharitis patients will have a dry eye as well so using a good unpreserved artificial tear if very important. Most of the artificial tears purchased over the counter do not work well however. Dr Lange recommends using a preservative free lubricating eye drop that has hyluranic acid in it like Oasis Tears Plus or Blink tears. These both work quite well in dry eye patients with blepharitits. In the more advanced dry eye patients he recommends using one of those two (blink or Oasis) combined with Retaine tears. Retaine replaces the outer lipid layer of the tear film that may be compromised in blepharitis patients.
great for dry eye associated with blepharitis.
In summary the natural treatment of Blepharitis is Heating the lids, cleaning the lids and utilizing the nutritional benefits of Omega 3 fish oil and astaxanthin. Treating the symptoms with good unpreserved lubricating eye drops. Blepharitis is a chronic problem and patinets will need to follow these instructions daily for one month then maybe cut back to lid hygiene and heat every three days but continue taking the omega 3 and astaxanthin indefinitely. If you have blepharitis go to your eye care provider for continued follow up care. You can purchase the items discussed from your local eye care provider or go to http://www.fortifeye.com . call 866 503 9746.

Foresee Home AMD Monitoring Program
Dr. Michael Lange is excited to announce that the Lange Eye Institute is using a new at home monitoring device developed for macular degeneration patients called Foresee Home AMD Monitoring Program. The Lange Eye Institute is one of the first eye care centers in the country to utilize this technology, this is the first FDA cleared home telemonitoring system for macular degeneration . ForeseeHome allows patients to take a proactive role in preserving their vision at home. This advanced technology allows for the detection of early macular changes before the patients is aware. The device transmits the results of the test daily to a monitoring center via a cellular modem or phone line. The Foresee Home has been clinically proven to be very sensitive at picking up the earliest changes from dry macular degeneration to wet macular degeneration. The data center then alerts the doctors office of the potential changes in the patients retina and allows for much earlier intervention by the retina specialist to lessen the potential damage! if intereste set up an appointment to be seen at the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida or call 352 753 4014. Dr Michael Lange says the key is “early detection” and he feels this device will improve the doctors abillitied to intervene in the earliest stages of wet macular degeneration and save a lot of visual loss.

Michael Lange OD discusses Natural Dry Eye Relief and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction treatment
Michael Lange OD, CNS in front of The Lange Eye Insitute in The Villages.
Dr. Michael Lange founder of Lange Eye Care, Syndicated Radio Talk show host of “Ask the Dr” and Certified Nutrition Specialist has developed four clinically proven steps to give dramatic dry eye relief to the majority of dry eye patients.
1. A condition causing the lids to become quite inflamed,red and crusty called blepharitis is a main cause of dry eyes and meibomian gland dysfunction. Good lid hygiene is a crucial step in natural dry eye relief. Michael Lange OD recommends cleansing the lids and lid margins with a commercial preparation called occusoft lid scrub. The scrubbing will eliminate much of the bacterial flora that can clog the Meibomian glands. This lid scrub with occusoft will help to reduce the staph bacterial flora that blocks the meibomian glands. If the patient continues to have a chronic red-eye with inflamed lid margins then it could be a form of blepharitis related to a parasite called Demodex. Demodex is a small parasite that reproduces in the hair follicle at night. The demodex may cause lids to become red, inflamed, crusty , and itch ( demodex blepharitis). It is important to wipe the lashes and lid margins with a special pre medicated pad called cliradex right before bed. Cliradex has the demodex killing properties derived from tea tree oil and is extremely effective for the treatment of demodex related blepharitis and secondary dry eyes. Scrub lashes first with occusoft, rinse then rub the Cliradex onto lashes and lids before bed and do not rinse. This combination of lid hygiene will help to eliminate the microbial flora ( staph and demodex) that is blocking the Meibomian glands and causing the dry eyes. The meticulous cleaning of the lids and lid margins with occusoft and or cliradex will improve the functioning of the meibomian glands and help reduce dry eye symptoms naturally.
2. The most important step in natural dry eye relief is proper nutrition. The majority of Americans are deficient in omega 3 with an Omega index score around 4 . Omega index is the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 in blood. Omega index should be over 8 to gain the therapeutic health benefits. Take a good triglyceride form omega 3 fish oil with a minimum of 1500 mg of omega 3
The correct dosage of omega 3 will reduce inflammation in the Meibomian glands and improve the tear production. Most patients will have a dramatic improvement in the tear production from the Meibomian glands after starting a good omega 3 supplement. Fortifeye Super Omega gives the ratio of DHA and EPA that has been used in large dry eye clinics throughout the world. Omega index studies indicate that two per day dosing of Fortifeye Super Omega will bring the omega index to an average between 9.1 and 11 in patients under 240 lbs. The goal is to bring the omega index to a minimum of 8. People over 240 lbs may need to double the concentration of omega 3 to get the same results. Most patients with dry eyes and meibomian gland dysfunction will improve by starting the optimal dosage and form of omega 3 fish oil. However some moderate to marked dry eye symptoms may need some additional nutritional help. Dr. Michael Lange recommends adding 6mg of astaxanthin due to its antioxidant and anti inflammatory effects. Astaxanthin is the hottest nutrient in the supplement business at this time due to its incredible health benefits.
Astaxanthin for dry eye is rapidly gaining a strong foothold in the natural medicine realm. Astaxanthin is a super carotenoid derived from algae. Astaxanthin when added to omega 3 fish oil will enhance the anti inflammatory effects. Astaxanthin will also help to reduce dry tired eye symptoms. Astaxanthin has many other amazing health benefits. I recommend using an organically grown algae called astareal. The combination of triglyceride form omega 3 and 6 mg of astaxanthin will help combat against oxidation and inflammation in the eye and entire body. This combination will also improve circulation to the eye and may indirectly help other eye problems like glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. One final nutrient that can be added for the more extreme dry eye is GLA from Black currant seed oil. I like a ratio of close to 10 to 1 GLA to omega 3. 140-160 mg of GLA in addition to 1400-1600 mg of omega 3 fish oil is ideal. The exact combination can be obtained by taking two Fortifeye super omega along with 140mg- 160 mg of GLA. GLA has some additional anti inflammatory properties that stimulate series one prostaglandins and aids in healthy tear production. The triple whammy of dry eye nutrition is TG form omega 3, Astaxanthin and GLA. GLA for dry eye when used in combination with omega 3 and astaxanthin works very well. This combination is also great for skin and joint health
3.Meibomian glands may become blocked with time. Meibomian glands often times need a jump-start to help them secrete a healthier tear film. Heating and massaging the lid margins is crucial to unblock the meibomian glands so the glands can secrete the outer layer of tear film. This needs to be done for 10-15 minutes 2 times a day. The use of a warm wash cloth is an inexpensive way to do this but I have found that the Brueder Mask is the best way to continuously do this treatment. This is a mask that u put in microwave for 20 seconds and then Velcro around your face for 10-15 minutes two times a day. While the mask is on the eyes gently massage the lid margins to help un clog the blocked glands. This mask will also help cut inflammation around and under the eyes. The Brueder eye hydrating mask can last up to two to three years without being replaced. This mask is only $25 and makes the hot compresses a very simple and relaxing task.
4. Artificial tears are important to use frequently in initial phases of natural dry eye treatment. Using a good unpreserved artificial tear that has some hyaluranic acid for relief of dry eyes is my first choice. I recommend either Oasis tears plus or Blink to minimize dry eye symptomatology and both have hyaluronic acid in them . Hyaluaronic acid has some anti inflammatory effects and makes these two lubricating eye drops my first choice for dry eyes. For the extreme dry eyes and Meibomian gland dysfunction patients I like adding a special lubricating eye drop called Retain MGD. Retain MGD helps to replenish the outer lipid layer of tear film that may be deficient in Meibomian gland dysfunction patients. This combination helps to replenish all layers of the tear film. Combining oasis tears plus with Retain MGD with about ten minutes in between drops will help extreme dry eyes. These unpreserved lubricating eye drops can be used as frequently as necessary to get dry eye relief.
Michael Lange OD states if the four steps above are followed carefully most people with dry eye and meibomian gland problems will improve. Many people will notice improvements in as little as five days but it will take up to four months to gain the full potential for dry eyes. These steps will in many cases eliminate the need to have more expensive dry eye procedures like Meibomian gland probing, lipiflow dry eye treatment or IPL laser dry eye treatment performed. Dry eye kits including everything mentioned above are available at a discounted price at http://www.fortifeye.com. I recommend all readers of this blog see their local optometrist or ophthalmologist if they have any problems with their eyes. This blog is for educational purposes only. If you are in the Florida area come by one of the 10 Lange Eye Care locations. http://www.langeeyecare.com , http://www.drmichaellange.com Dry eye will affect every one sooner or later in life and a natural approach to treat dry eyes is the best approach.

Michael Lange OD is the founder of Lange Eye Care and Associates and Fortifeye Vitamins. Michael Lange OD has been involved in omega 3 research for many years and has 1000s of patients that have been on omega 3 for many years. Dr. Lange says the recent study called the SELECT study , a study that was designed to look at selenium and vitamin e in prostate cancer has been re evaluated and the conclusions are not based on anything legitimate. The media has recently condemmed the use of omega 3 fish oil because this study seems to suggest that omega 3 causes prostate cancer. Dr. Michael Lange states this is ridiculous and reckless! The study doesnt even know if the study participants were taking omega 3 or eating fish! in this study the prostate cancer patients had a .2% higher omega 3 than the control group and they concluded this is a risk for prostate cancer?? There is no cause and effect here at all! These prostate cancer patients had higher omega 3 than the control group because they have been told by their oncologist, urologist, cardiologist, gp and optometrist to take fish oil! This is simple, no correlation at all. Good studies prove that people that consume more omega 3 are less likely to have prostate cancer ! If this ridiculous theory was correct then the groups of people that consume a lot of fish would have super high levels of prostate cancer, but this is just the opposite they have less prostate cancer. So , bottom line is DONT STOP TAKING YOUR FISH OIL per Dr. Michael Lange! Omega 3 has numerous postive health benefits. Learn more about a super purified triglyceride form of omega 3 called Fortifeye Super Omega at http://www.fortifeye.com
Please discuss this with your physician before stopping your omega 3!!

Here is a step by step protocol developed by Dr. Michael Lange that will help the majority of dry eye patients if followed.
1. Follow an Organic , Paleo Gluten free diet. This is an anti inflammatory diet that will help dry eye conditions.
2. Take Fortifeye Super Omega 2 times a day if under 240 lbs and 3-4 times a day if over 240 lbs.
3. Drink half your body weight in ounces of spring water or good well water. Do not drink reverse osmosis or distilled water due to high acidity and low mineral content. Drink 2 glasses of coconut water a day.
4. Take one Fortifeye Focus gel cap.
5. Take Fortifeye Complete Once Daily if weight is 160 or less, Take Fortifeye Complete Plus if weight is between 160-240, Take Fortifeye Complete macular Defense if weight is over 240 lbs.
6. Use Cinnamon and curcumin/ turmeric as spices on foods.
7. Hot compresses 3 times a day for 10 minutes while massaging the lids. My favorite is the bruder mask two to three times a day instead of hot compresses. Bruder mask is $25 and last 10 years.
8. Use Oasis tears plus or blink preservative free in alternation with Retaine lubricating eye drops four to eight times a day depending on severity.
9. Remember to blink plenty of times a day especially while working on the computer. Dry eye symptoms worsen when blink reflex is lessened.
10. Turn off ceiling fan while sleeping at night or wear a sleep mask. Wear good wrap sunglasses while in the wind and sun like oakley, costa del mar, wiley x or mau jim.
11. one last nutrient that can be added to the extreme dry eye cases is GLA from black currant seed oil at 140-160 mg a day.
12. Proper lid hygiene is crucial for dry eye treatment. Scrub eye lashes well with a lid scrub foam (occusoft) 1-2 times a day , am and pm. If u have really inflamed crusty lid margins then I recommend using Clearidex lid scrub pads.

FINAL_BLUTECH_PATIENT_BROCHURE
Dr. Michael Lange optometrist and certified nutrition specialist says “see better today with lens of tomorrow”, Blutech lenses!
The new Blutech lens is a must for everyone at any age. It is extremely important to filter the harmful blue light that is emitted out doors from the sun and indoors from many forms of lighting, computers, I pads, cell phones etc… New science suggests that the blue light may be partially responsible for degeneration of the macula. This blue filtering lens is great for young and old. Perfect for the person that spends a lot of time on the computer. This will block much of the glare, increase contrast and protect the eye from the potential harmful blue light . Filtering the blue light at night while on the computer will also allow the pineal gland to do its job at secreting the necessary chemicals like serotonin and melatonin allowing you to get sleepy. Many that are on a computer for long hours at night have difficulty sleeping. the blue light tricks the brain in to thinking you are out doors in the sunlight and not to get tired. Many optometrists and ophthalmologists are recommending wearing blue filtering lenses after having cataract surgery to help prevent the macular degenerative changes that can occur secondarily to the blue light exposure to the retina after the human lens (cataract) has been removed. When the cataract is removed , the natural blue filtering properties of the human lens are also removed. This may predispose the patient to develop macular damage from this blue light exposure. I also think it is a good idea for very young children to wear the blue tech lens as well. Much of the damage to our eyes may be do to uv and blue light exposure as a child. Bottom line is everyone can benefit from these Blue tech lenses at any age. There are many blue blocking lenses on the market that alter colors and are darkly pigmented with either orange, yellow or amber/brown. Those are good at blocking and filtering the blue light. The blutech lens is however the first virtually clear lens that filters the blue light, so this lens is great for your every day pair of glasses and great for your computer and night-time lenses. Dr. Michael Lange recommends patients that are predisposed to macular degeneration should all wear the blu tech lens and also take Fortifeye complete plus or Fortifeye Complete macular Defense . Fortifeye Vitamins have over fifty nutrients in it formula that has been revised ten times in the last seven years based on ongoing clinical research. This combination of nutrients is being used by 1000s of patients and doctors all over the world. Dr. Lange recommends if you are on a computer more than two hours a day to use the blu tech lens combined with fortifeye focus once a day. Fortifeye Focus supplement is a combination of lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin that has proven to improve focusing ability and reduce eye strain while working on computer. Come to any Lange Eye Care location throughout Florida to get a pair of the Blue Tech lenses. Blutech is the future of prevention here today.
