  • Dry Eye & Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Natural, Nutritional, Medical & Advanced Technology Treatment

    Dry Eye & Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Natural, Nutritional, Medical & Advanced Technology Treatment
    Nov 1 2025
    Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton uncover the hidden causes of Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction — from Demodex mites to clogged glands — and share the latest natural, nutritional, medical, and advanced laser treatments including Xdemvy, OptiLight IPL, OptiLift, and Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy. In this episode of Ask the Dr, Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton discuss the root causes and the most effective treatments for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, one of the leading causes of dry eye disease. They explain how clogged meibomian glands reduce the oily layer of the tear film, leading to dryness, irritation, and fluctuating vision. A key focus is the Demodex mite, a microscopic parasite that lives in the eyelash follicles and meibomian glands. These mites crawl into the glands, lay eggs, and regurgitate inside, triggering inflammation and gland obstruction that worsen MGD symptoms. The doctors highlight three major treatment approaches — natural, medical, and advanced technological solutions: NATURAL AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT Eyelid hygiene using Optase Tea Tree Oil Lid Wipes to reduce Demodex mites Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy, a clinical-grade nutritional protocol designed to reduce inflammation in the eyes and meibomian glands by acting on all 3 prostaglandins This formula combines lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, black currant oil (GLA), and rTG-form omega 3 fish oil — a synergistic blend shown to significantly improve MGD and overall tear film quality Warm compresses and gland expression to restore healthy oil flow MEDICAL TREATMENT Discussion of the new prescription medication Xdemvy, used twice daily for six weeks, proven to eradicate Demodex mite infestations and help clear blocked glands ADVANCED HIGH-TECH SOLUTIONS Lumenis OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), a groundbreaking therapy that improves gland function, reduces inflammation, and helps control Demodex mites Lumenis OptiLift, an advanced radiofrequency-based treatment for lower-lid laxity and MGD, also providing aesthetic skin-tightening benefits Together, these cutting-edge approaches show that Meibomian Gland Dysfunction can be successfully managed naturally, nutritionally, medically, and technologically — improving both eye health and appearance. In this episode of Ask the Dr, Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton discuss a full range of evidence-based strategies for maintaining youthful skin, strong eyes, and overall wellness. They focus on OneSkin, a science-based topical skin cream formulated for the eyes, face, and total body. Dr Lange explains how combining OneSkin with Fortifeye Rejuvenate, an evidence-based nutritional supplement powder for the skin, hair, nails, and joints, delivers powerful synergistic results. He calls this combination a true “double whammy” against the visible signs of skin aging. The doctors also discuss the Fortifeye Strength and Vitality Bundle, designed to enhance energy, recovery, and muscle performance. This bundle is beneficial for both men and women and can even be used by certain vegetarians. Next, Dr Lange highlights two trademarked lens technologies — Blue Light Defense and Blue Light Shield — that help protect the eyes from the most harmful high-energy blue light wavelengths, specifically in the 400 to 420 nanometer range of the visible spectrum. These lenses are ideal for anyone who spends extended time on digital devices or under LED lighting. The discussion continues with a detailed look at creatine and muscle health, featuring Fortifeye’s Creapure Creatine, myHMB, and Vitamin D formula. Dr Lange and Dr Summerton explain how these clinically studied nutrients help improve strength, muscle mass, and endurance — especially in active adults and those focused on longevity and fitness. During the call-in portion of the show, listeners direct the conversation into broader eye health topics, including a detailed segment on natural and medical therapies for glaucoma. Both doctors stress the importance of routine comprehensive eye exams, since glaucoma is often called the “painless sneak thief of sight.” Early detection is key for preserving vision. Dr Lange replied to a caller in regards to dementia and told a story about how his mothers dementia reversed a few months after she started taking Fortifeye Focus and Brain supplement. Fortifeye Focus and Brain has 4 ingredients for brain.
