You need to apply to an American Optometry school and get your Doctor of Optometry degree. Or you can work as a technician under an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Don't schools like NECO and Berkely have an advanced placement program for international grads?

Yes, NECO is the only one I am aware of.

Berkeley does not have advanced standing. NECO and Salus have tailored programs for international optometrists.

SUNY and others (can't remember) offer advanced standing on an individual basis.

Sorry, there are no jobs here in the USA. Try the UK.
