Clear eyesight is just one aspect of good vision, which is why we diagnose and treat those visual problems that can make daily tasks challenging. Using vision therapy, we’re able to enhance the connection between the eyes and the brain, which improves visual function and your quality of life.
We promote healthier vision by training the brain to use the eyes more efficiently.
Dr. McCrodan was inspired to focus his career on neurovisual performance shortly after graduation. He had been observing an appointment with a 50-year-old patient who had been successfully treated for a reading/learning disability caused by an underlying eye movement and processing problem. The patient shared that he thought he didn’t like to read because he was stupid – only to realize it had been a problem with his eyes. Since some of his undergraduate was spent in engineering, Dr. McCrodan realized that this was simply the engineering of the visual system. The software that controls how our eyes work, and how we process what they see. This lead to years of study and the ongoing advancement of treatment at Opto-mization. He is also a published author. You can purchase his book titled “Optomize: A New Way to Look at Dyslexia, Concussion, Attention Deficit, Reading Comprehension and Athletic Performance” on Amazon here. Today Dr. McCrodan supports patients of all ages and abilities, including those with reading and learning issues, head trauma, concussions, and sports vision needs. Dr. McCrodan grew up in Victoria and graduated from The School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Waterloo. He is a fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (FCOVD), and has sat on the board for the British Columbia Doctors of Optometry. He is also a member of the Canadian Association of Optometrists, the Canadian Optometrists in Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation, the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association and the Optometric Extension Program.
Never Heard of Vision Therapy or Neuro Visual Optometry?
Research shows that vision is more than just seeing clearly, but current optical treatment plans overlook how vision really works. Dr. Cameron McCrodan, OD, FCOVD, shares his journey in neuro-visual optimization through the eyes of his patients.
