Throughout school Dr. McCrodan always had an interest in working with cases that involved higher level processing. After graduation he really found his calling while sitting in on a followup appointment at a colleague’s office. The appointment involved a 50 year-old male who had been successfully treated for a reading/learning disability. The cause o

f this was an underlying eye movement and processing problem. As the patient described his experience through the program he stated:

“I used to think I didn’t like to read because I was stupid. Now I know it was a problem with my eyes.”

This was a very powerful statement and started Dr. McCrodan along the path of continued education. Years later, Dr. McCrodan is now proud to offer vision therapy in Victoria. He works with patients of all ages and abilities and finds the work truly rewarding. To book an appointment, visit the contact us page. Dr. McCrodan is both a developmental and behavioural optometrist. The behavioural aspect takes into account how various visual skills and lenses will impact the behaviour of a person. In cases of academic avoidance or struggle in children or adults, the behavioural issues are usually secondary to an underlying visual problem. Developmental optometry takes into account the proven fact that visual skills are developed over time and are not innate at birth. In some cases these skills either don’t develop properly, or they may be damaged such as in brain injury. Developmental optometry is concerned with ensuring that these skills are present, and ensuring the lacking skills are developed. Dr. McCrodan is proud to bring both developmental and behavioural optometry to Victoria. Dr. McCrodan is proud to be an active part of the Victoria community. He has volunteered with many local charities over the years, and routinely speaks at schools, and to other health professional groups to build understanding and awareness.

For years, Andrew thought he just “wasn’t a reader.”
But his eyes weren’t working together, making reading harder than it should be.

Neuro-visual training helped improve how his brain and eyes communicate, boosting comfort and comprehension.

You try everything to help your child.
But sometimes the answer is overlooked.

One exam brought clarity to their entire family and changed everything.

Sometimes you try every doctor
Every treatment
Every option
And still feel stuck

Their family was out of answers
Her symptoms were getting worse
Nothing made sense anymore

Optomization became their last resort
And it finally brought the clarity they needed

“Your child has ADHD-like symptoms. Your partner struggles to read. Driving feels off.”
These can be linked to how the brain and eyes work together to process visual information.

You train your body for the hit, but do you train your vision to avoid it?

Athletes with faster visual processing react sooner, position better, and take fewer impacts.
Research shows that improving oculomotor speed and peripheral awareness sharpens anticipation, giving you that milliseconds advantage on the field.

Train your vision like you train your body.

“It gave me back something I didn’t even know was lost.”

Sherry’s story started with a podcast and led her to an eye exam unlike any other. What she discovered wasn’t just clearer sight, but balance, confidence, and a calmness she hadn’t felt in years.
At Opto-mization, every exam looks beyond clarity, measuring how your eyes and brain actually work together to process space, balance, and motion.

Hear Sherry’s story and discover what happens when vision care meets neuroscience.

Teya knew the LSAT material. She did the work.
But she couldn’t finish the test - not because of ability, but because her eyes simply couldn’t keep up.

Then COVID hit.
Two screens. Constant switching.
Headaches. Migraines. Worsening symptoms.

Until one day… she couldn’t do her job anymore.
Her vision took away the career she worked so hard for.

When vision issues go undiagnosed, they don’t just affect your eyes — they affect your future.
There is a way forward. And there is a reason behind the struggle.

“I haven’t had a migraine in two years.”

Sherry’s story shows what happens when vision therapy supports the way your eyes and brain work together.
From driving calmly through traffic to reading 500 pages in a weekend, her world became clear again - not just visually, but in how she functions day to day.

Vision therapy doesn’t just correct what you see. It retrains how your brain processes visual information.

We just finished analyzing data from more than 3,000 patients who completed care focused on improving how the eyes and brain work together — not just updating prescriptions, but improving how the visual system actually functions.

The results are meaningful.

Children showed the largest improvements in visual tracking speed, measured with the King-Devick test. This test looks at how quickly and accurately the eyes move across a page — a skill that directly affects reading fluency, stamina, and the ability to keep place while reading. After treatment, kids’ eye movements became faster and more efficient, with changes that were highly statistically significant.

We also saw strong improvements in binocular coordination — how well the two eyes work as a team. When this system is working better, reading and screen time feel easier, attention is more sustainable, and visual fatigue is reduced.

Depth perception improved across all age groups, with especially notable gains in adults. Depth perception plays an important role in balance, spatial awareness, confidence in movement, and overall visual comfort — areas many adults and seniors struggle with quietly.

Importantly, this wasn’t just a pediatric finding. Adults and seniors also showed measurable improvements in visual tracking and binocular function. The pattern of change differed by age, but the data clearly show that the visual system remains adaptable throughout life.

These were not small or random shifts. Across measures, results were highly statistically significant (p < 0.0001), meaning the improvements are very unlikely to be due to chance.

This is real-world clinical data, and it gives us a strong foundation. The next phase of research is now being developed to examine how these functional improvements are reflected in the brain using objective neuroscience tools.

We already see patients reading more comfortably, lasting longer at work and school tasks, feeling steadier on their feet, and experiencing less visual strain. Now we’re working to better understand how the brain adapts alongside those changes.

If someone is struggling with reading, focus, headaches, dizziness, or visual fatigue — at any age — it may not just be an eyesight issue. Sometimes the visual system itself needs support and training.
