Dr. Laurie Brennan
(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Laurie Brennan has called Victoria home since 2001, but her journey into optometry began much earlier. After studying immunology and molecular genetics at the University of Toronto, she pursued her Doctor of Optometry degree at the University of Waterloo, graduating with honours in 2001.

For over 20 years, Dr. Brennan has cared for patients across Greater Victoria, with a particular focus on supporting adults and seniors. She has also worked alongside surgeons to provide trusted post-operative care for cataract patients, guiding them through vision recovery with compassion and expertise.

Her clinical interests continue to grow, especially in the area of binocular vision and how the brain and eyes work together. Joining Opto-mization has given her the opportunity to expand this side of her practice—helping patients who struggle with balance, reading, dizziness, or simply feeling that their vision “isn’t quite right,” even if they see clearly on an eye chart.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Brennan brings the same harmony and balance she values in vision to her personal life. She sings in local choirs, tends her garden, and cycles around the island she proudly calls home.

Dr. Cameron McCrodan OD, F.C.O.V.D. Board Certified In Vision Development and Vision Therapy

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.
