OUR MISSION

The BCOA’s mission is to advance the profession of optometry through education, professional development, and public policy advocacy. The BCOA is the only voice that speaks for optometry in Broward County and the only force that works to protect the interests of optometrists and their patients.

AFFILIATES

Together with the collaboration between partners and affiliated organizations, we have built a group of unified Optometrists who are working to protect your inalienable right to freedom of choice when selecting an eye care practitioner.
