Episode 23: Dr. Cameron McCrodan - Treat the Brain First: Reframing Vision Therapy
Dr. Trevor Miranda sits down with Dr. Cameron McCroden, one of Canada’s leading voices in vision therapy and neuro-optometry. Cam shares his unconventional path into the profession, how engineering shaped the way he approaches binocular vision, and why so many subtle binocular vision issues go undetected in primary care.
Together, they unpack some of the biggest myths holding ODs back from embracing VT, explore why post-concussion patients often get “false all-clears,” and break down the emotional impact vision dysfunction can have on both kids and adults. They also explore why effective lens prescribing is about supporting the visual-vestibular system and how small refractive adjustments can lead to noticeable changes in a patient’s quality of life.
