Welcome to the Bay Area Optometric Council Website
Originally conceived as the Bay Area Optometric Coordinating Council to serve as a repository of ideas and dialogue between Optometric Societies in the Bay Area, BAOC's mission was, and still is, to serve as a network and informational resource for member doctors that form its core.
The makeup of the BAOC Board of Directors includes Presidents of the Alameda & Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood Empire and Santa Clara County Optometric Societies. In addition, representatives from COA, VSP, UCBSO, UCBSO Alumni Association, UCBSO students and UCBSO's Externship Program also participate. The BAOC membership includes over 600 Optometrists from throughout the Bay Area.
