About AOF
African Ophthalmology Forum
The African Ophthalmology Forum, AOF, is a supranational ophthalmology organization, whose aim is to represent the interests of national and sub regional ophthalmological societies across Sub Saharan Africa as well as that of the members of those societies.
It is also a platform for ophthalmologists in the diaspora to contribute to the agenda of improving eye health care in sub Saharan Africa.
AOF was created in Bahrain, in March 2009, following a series of meetings of ophthalmology leaders from Sub Saharan Africa. These meetings, which started in 2007, were facilitated by ICO (International Council of Ophthalmology) and MEACO (Middle East African Council of Ophthalmology).
