Opto-mization Optometry and Vision Therapy

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.
