Dr. Cameron McCrodan’s journey into neurovisual performance began shortly after graduation, when he observed a life-changing appointment with a 50-year-old patient. The man had struggled with reading his whole life, believing he was “just stupid”—until a vision therapy program revealed that the issue had been with his eye movements and processing all along. For Dr. McCrodan, who had studied engineering before optometry, this moment was profound: vision wasn’t just about eyesight—it was about how the brain controls the eyes and interprets what they see.
This sparked years of advanced training and innovation in neurovisual care, culminating in the development of Opto-mization’s pioneering approach. His clinical work focuses on patients of all ages dealing with reading and learning difficulties, concussions, visual-vestibular symptoms, and high-performance athletic vision.
A published author, Dr. McCrodan wrote Opto-mize: A New Way to Look at Dyslexia, Concussion, Attention Deficit, Reading Comprehension and Athletic Performance, available on Amazon. He is a fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (FCOVD), and a member of the Canadian Association of Optometrists, Canadian Optometrists in Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation (COVT&R), the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA), and the Optometric Extension Program Foundation (OEPF).
Originally from Victoria, he earned his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Waterloo and has served on the board for the BC Doctors of Optometry.
