Absolutely incredible. I’ve seen two optometrists and one ophthalmologist in the last year, trying to find a solution to my myriad of eye symptoms… To no avail. I decided I would try Opto-Mization before finally giving up. I’m so glad I did! I didn’t realize just how blurry and unsteady my surroundings were until my appointment. I was at a loss for words by the end because I hadn’t known it was possible to see so clearly. Dr. McCrodan was incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt listened to for the first time in a long time. Everyone else I spoke to was exceptionally kind as well. I’ve become slightly agoraphobic because of all my symptoms, so this was truly a life-changing appointment for me. Thank you!Read moreShow less

I’ve never had such thorough test of how my eyes work! The staff were lovely and Dr McCroden was super knowledgeable and I cried at how well the glasses he prepared for me worked! I look forward to the next few months of eye therapy, and lenses that will work!Read moreShow less

Amazing!! What an incredible practitioner. If you have any issues with dyslexia/migraines/dizziness please do yourself a favour and go see Dr. McCrodan. He has a gift for this kind of vision/brain care. I have been struggling my whole life not understanding what the underlying issue was and within 45 minutes I was feeling so much better! I also felt seen (haha no pun intended), heard, and validated by Dr. McC. I cannot say enough good things. Just fantastic! Not to mention he has a full optical shop right there and will make any tweaks or adjustments you need at no extra cost. He stands behind his recommendations and isn’t happy until you are blown-away-amazed!Read moreShow less

I had a comprehensive eye exam yesterday at Opto-Mization with Dr. Scott Irvine. It was one of the best patient care experiences I've had in a long time. The office staff were friendly, competent, efficient and professional. The tests were thorough, well explained, and finally shed some light after countless other eye exams and appointments with Optometrists and Ophthalmologists. Say was also amazing and helpful with input and advice on selecting frames and lenses for my new glasses. I look forward to seeing the difference (pun intended!) these new glasses make to my life! Highly recommend visiting Opto-Mization for your vision needs.Read moreShow less

Everything about my visit was relaxed and very helpful. From the inital tests, and further tests, to the fitting of my glasses. Dr 'Cam''s enthusiasm and thoroughness is impressive. He clearly explained how he could help me and answered all my questions without hesitation. He comes across as being very passionate about his field of expertise and clearly enjoys his work. This is very reassuring to me as a patient, with some very specific requirements for my prescription, that he was able to provide. Of course my final opinion will be when I get to try my new glasses.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan lives up to his reputation, unequivocally. He's grounded and present, and meets patients where they are. I get the sense he's very much on the patient's side, and will go to great lengths to untangle any presenting mystery. What makes him different is his understanding of the interconnected nature of our brains and visual systems (with one essentially being an outgrowth of the other). He understands systems: how they form, how they evolve and change, and how dysfunction in one part can cause maladaptation or overcompensation in another. Mind-blowing expertise. We're grateful to have found him.Read moreShow less

I first met with Dr. McCrodan in 2021 after a concussion from an MVA. Having sat in the dark in a quiet room for almost 6 months by that point (brutal dizziness/nausea when ever I moved) when I got referred to Dr. McCrodan and he said "I can help you!" It was like a lifeline for a drowning person at the end of a rope. The staff have all been amazing and I did go through the vision therapy program (with both Sarah and Casey) and found it very helpful. Casey is exceptional at his job and I could really see my progress over the months he spent with me with weekly vision therapy sessions. Dr. McCrodan really does do the best he can to help patients get back to their best. Fantastic in person skills, great at explaining. Has developed a program which makes a tremendous difference to those who are fortunate enough to be referred/followed by him. Thanks for being so awesome. Megan was also incredibly exceptional in dealing with ICBC and whatever paperwork/billing/coverage required. Thank you Megan! You too rock!Read moreShow less

Dr McCrodan and his team are amazing. They are cnstantly on top of new research and improving their methods of treatment - they really care about helping their patients!

It’s been years since I’ve seen Dr. McCrodan for my own vision therapy- post concussion. (Which worked wonders)….Now I’m back with my daughter and feel so hopeful about correcting her functional vision to improve her experience with reading and being in over-stimulating environments, such as school! You should have seen her little face light up when she could easily read a page of a book with her prescription. This issue has never been flagged at our annual optometrist exams at other centres- so make sure to get a functional eye exam with Dr. McCrodan!!Read moreShow less

I first visited Opto-Mization on April 29th of 2025. For me, it was a gamble—I had already tried everything except a combination of prism lenses and vision therapy (VT). I wore Neurolens, other prism lenses from renowned specialists, and even tried VT separately, but nothing ever gave me satisfaction. Living with binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) often feels hopeless, because a person struggling with it never realizes the problem comes from their eyes. The symptoms never “blame the eyes.” Instead, it feels like you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or even weak, which eventually turns into psychological struggles in front of society. Looking back, I never imagined it would take this long to identify something that was actually treatable. The lack of understanding led me down the wrong paths and into a life of lower quality. No one really listened when I tried to explain that there was something wrong with my eyes. Eye specialists would check for clarity alone and write me off as “normal.” But clarity is just 1 of 17 different ways of testing and understanding the eyes. I never gave up hope in myself, even when the world seemed to give up on me. I kept researching, hoping that someone would finally help me out of this endless pain. Because of my vision, I could never read very well or write efficiently. I constantly traced back, reread paragraphs without understanding, and ended up looking like the “dumb” student. I couldn’t maintain eye contact, couldn’t express myself clearly, and my decision-making was impaired. My confidence dropped lower each day. So, when I walked into Opto-Mization, I was skeptical. This was supposed to be my last attempt—everything else had failed. At the very least, I thought, someone should finally hear my story of struggling for 11 long years. I was taken through several different tests that I had never done before. When the results came, I sat with Dr. McCrodan, who told me my eyes were misaligned and that I would need two pairs of glasses—one for distance and one for reading. Even then, I wasn’t convinced this would work. I had to wait three more weeks to finally get the lenses. I wore them for another three weeks, but the symptoms didn’t change much. That’s when I decided to try VT along with the glasses. I started sessions with Challyene. At first, it was hard—I felt like quitting because the therapy required time, effort, and discipline to practice at home. But something in me pushed me to keep going. After about three weeks of VT, I noticed changes I never expected. From that point on, I gave it my all, doing every exercise consistently without missing a single day. In just three months, my eyes were in a completely different place from where they had started. This transformation wouldn’t have been possible without Challyene and Dr. McCrodan. My eyes are not completely “back to normal,” but the difference is incredible. I can now read, write, sit in front of a book, listen to people, socialize, communicate more effectively, and live with less dizziness, fewer headaches, and much more focus. Now I understand—those other reviews I read were not exaggerating. Victoria will always hold a special place in my heart as the city that transformed me back into my confident younger self, who should have had a better chance years ago. Coming out of darkness is something not everyone can understand—but I am living it now. I am finally seeing light. Opto-Mization has helped me come back to life and reminded me that I am not alone anymore. That assurance alone is enough to move forward with hope. Thank you to the entire team for helping me reach this place—especially to Dr. McCrodan, who is doing an amazing job changing lives for the better.Read moreShow less
