Practice abroad

[thekoshka]

Not sure if this is the appropriate topic for this particular forum but how would a person with an optometry degree in the US be able to practice in the UK? From reading other threads, it seems as though individuals from the UK that come here have to go through a few more years to be able to practice, but what about the other way around? Thanks in advance!

Optometrists with a US optometry degree are not allowed to practice in the UK. UK requires a degree from a UK school.

On the other hand there are other european countries that do allow US optometrists to practice in their country.
