Hi!
I'm a student from the Netherlands and almost graduating as an Optometrist and Orthoptist (I did a double bachelor for both studies). I'm very interested in the USA, but I know it is impossible to work als an Optometrist over there. Were not a doctor of Optometry in the Netherlands, so we can't prescribe medicines.. We only use Phenylephrine, Oxybuprocaïne, Cyclopentolate, Atropine and Tropicamide for research purpose.
Does anyone know a University with a short International student program, to work legally as an OD in the USA? I think it is sad and unnecessary to study again for 4+ years.
Thanks!
