About Us

The goal of the Monterey Bay Optometric Society is to promote excellence in vision care and to provide camaraderie among its members. We support the mission of the California Optometric Association: to provide a voice for optometry at the state level.  Our members serve the community in a variety of different practice modalities as primary eye care providers that work to diagnose and treat refractive conditions and ocular diseases. The MBOS offers high quality continuing education for its members, participates in local health screenings and clinics, and supports the COA in its commitment to lobby for optometrists and patient eye health at the state level.
