Michael Lange OD’s Education
Dr. Michael Lange attended high school at both Sam Barthe and Ecole Classique, graduating in 1980. Two years later, in 1982, he enrolled in the University of Southern Mississippi. He graduated from this undergraduate schooling in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
Two years after that, in 1988, Michael enrolled in college again. This time he attended the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, where he studied psychology, optometry, and physiological optics. He then graduated four years later in 1992 as an official optometric physician.
Michael Lange OD’s Medical Work Experience
He wasted no time out of college getting his start in the field of ocular health. In April of 1992 he joined the Eye Surgery Center of Louisiana as an optometric physician. Here he worked primarily in pre- and post-operative care, including eye disease management. After five months, he transferred to St. Charles Vision, which has been described as the best eye care center in New Orleans.
Then in 1993, Michael left this eye care clinic to start his own – Lange Eye Care and Associates in Ocala, FL. Here he became the president, CEO, founder, and chief optometrist all in one. For the past 20 years, Michael Lange OD and his optometric associates have assisted patients throughout their area, while growing into one of the largest privately owned eye care centers in the United States. Starting from just Michael himself, this clinic has since grown to include almost 20 ophthalmologists and optometric physicians on staff.
With this crew of eye experts and 10 different locations throughout Florida, Lange Eye Care has been able to help their patients with just about any problem related to eye care. In addition to optical, medical, and surgical eye care, the clinic also has a heavy emphasis on nutritional eye care thanks to Dr. Michael’s nutritional certification.
Michael Lange OD Experience in Glasses and Contacts
On top of his work in optometric health and nutrition, Dr. Michael Lange also has experience working with vision enhancement through contacts and glasses. This makes him fully rounded as a professional eye and vision health expert.
He started this experience in January of 1996 by becoming the CEO and chairman of the company Express Contacts, making him one of the first in his industry to sell contact lenses over the Internet.
He made this company a success in two major ways. First, he offered deep discounts on his contacts by reselling major name brands. Second, his company was one of the first to offer an added value package of free sunglasses whenever a specific quantity of contact lenses was purchased.
In 1997, Michael followed up on this success with Express Sunglasses, which offered customers custom prescription sunglasses online with free shipping.
