    3:38 / 52:36 The evolution of presbyopia multifocal lens concept is here today with EyeFocal Omni NAL

    Dr Michael Lange hosts "ask the dr" today with his guest Michael Walach. Michael is an optical lens industry veteran and expert. The evolution of presbyopia spectacle lens correction is here today with the all new Eyefocal Omni NAL. NAL stands for natural accommodation lens and was invented by Michael Walach. NAL is a true multifocal lens that provides correction from infinity to near in one continuous individually adjusted power curve. Eyefocal Omni NAL is the next generation in lens concept for the over 40 crowd with presbyopia. The Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida is one of the first in the country to offer this new Eyefocal Omni NAL concept. Progressive lenses have been around for over 60 years and have not changed a significant amount in this time period. The NAL is a revolutionary new lens concept that allows people to see clearly in the distance and up close with no peripheral distortion or "swim" sensations. This new lens concept also reduces human error in the Measurment's for the progressive lenses since no seg height measurement is necessary with this lens. Dr Lange feels this new NAL will be a much better option for patients with macular degeneration or patients with visual field loss from a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Both Michael Walach and Dr Lange feel this NAL will be a big advantage for anyone playing sports over a progressive lens. Today's show was upbeat, educational and had lots of good live calls, Dr Susan Summerton called in from a conference and updated everyone on the latest in eye care technology. Dr Lange also briefly mentioned the all new Fortifeye Next Gen Macular Defense supplement is now available.

THE Eye Doc!

I’ve known Dr Lange for many years and through the years I have seen him evolve into THE premier doc to turn to for ALL info and nutrition for the eyes! He has such a passion for his work! His focus on overall health and wellness for the eye is something you don’t find in many doctors! He is a rare gem and I love his personality! I always find value in his podcasts and radio shows as he brings relevant info to table every week! I fully trust him and his supplements! I had the opportunity many years ago to sit in on a planning session for the creation of one of his supplements and I can tell you that he focuses on quality! He researches and fine tunes his products and I am thrilled that he continues to expand his nutrition offerings! It’s an exciting time for eyes and overall health with one of the finest people you could know... Dr Michael

Ask the doctor podcast program

Good evening My name is Larry Cubi I live in Ocala florida. I have been a patient of Dr. Lange for at least 25 years , listening to his podcast have been very informative for me and my family we are able to stay very well educated on different topics on proper eye care. I am very excited to know that Dr. Lange, is having a larger platform though his radio program and podcast to reach more people, creating a bigger awareness on eye care and nutrition. I have been using the Fortifeye vitamins since the first time that Dr. Lange introduced them to me and since then and with some eye medication and consistent use of the vitamins I have in my case perfect vision. Dr Lange’s knowledge , dedication , commitment and vision to the future has made him the best in his field, optometrist and nutrition. Thank you very much.
