TECH has designed a postgraduate diploma oriented towards updating and with the flexibility required by ophthalmology professionals for its implementation”

Currently there is a high demand of people who wish to undergo Refractive Surgery to improve their vision and get rid of the daily use of glasses or contact lenses. The boom in this field leads professionals to keep abreast of technical advances, but also to have to update themselves in the most essential concepts for the performance of Optometric Procedures. 

In this sense, the specialist must have a deep knowledge of the surgical techniques used for the correction of visual ametropia, the pathologies that may make the intervention impossible, as well as all the factors necessary for the patient's choice. For this reason, this academic institution has designed this 6-month 100% online university degree with the most advanced didactic content. 

It is a program designed and developed by a team of leading specialists in the world of Ophthalmology. His extensive knowledge is evident in a syllabus that will lead students to delve into the topographic, Aberrometric and Biomechanical studies of the cornea, the decision algorithms in this type of surgery, as well as the comprehensive evaluation of the patient to achieve optimal results. 

To achieve this update, students have at their disposal pedagogical tools in which TECH has used the latest technology applied to academic teaching, in addition to a Relearning system, which will help them to consolidate the concepts addressed in a much easier way and reduce the hours of study. 

Thus, the students are faced with a unique program that also offers flexibility in the flexibility to take it. The graduate only needs a digital device with an internet connection to visualize, at any time of the day, the content of this University Expert. with an internet connection to visualize, at any time of the day, the content of this postgraduate diploma A convenience that will allow the specialist to reconcile his most demanding responsibilities with a quality degree. 

 Inquire into advances in PRK, Temtolasik and Smile techniques in relation to Biomechanics and Corneal Refractive Surgery”

This postgraduate diploma in Optometric Procedures in Refractive Surgery contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in Ophthalmology and Refractive Surgery
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learningIts special emphasis on innovative methodologies  
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

With this program you will learn in depth the most effective tests for the proper interpretation of a patient's aptitude for a surgical intervention”

The program's teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists from prestigious reference societies and universities. 

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide an immersive education programmed to learn in real situations. 

The design of this program focuses on Problem Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts.

Numerous multimedia materials make this degree more dynamic and show key concepts in greater detail"

You will receive a complete update on laser refractive surgery, with intraocular lens, phaco-refractive and secondary implants"

The syllabus of this postgraduate diploma has been designed with the objective of offering in only 6 months the most exhaustive information on Optometric Procedures in Refractive Surgery. For this purpose, TECH provides a syllabus that provides a theoretical and practical perspective and simulations of clinical cases that will be key to the inclusion of the most appropriate methodology for patient selection, the delay of an intervention by pathologies and the most effective preoperative tests. 

A postgraduate diploma with a theoretical-practical approach that will allow you to improve your skills on the pathologies that can delay a surgical intervention”
