Get up-to-date in Pediatric Neuro-ophthalmology and manage ophthalmologic conditions related to the nervous system in young patients. Enroll now!” 

The mastery of Pediatric Neuro-ophthalmology will enable the specialist to effectively manage the complex interactions between the nervous system and vision in childhood. At the same time, the Comprehensive Approach to the Anterior Segment will provide you with the tools to diagnose and treat a wide range of pediatric ocular conditions. Both approaches combined will allow you to provide comprehensive care tailored to the specific needs of each child, thereby promoting optimal visual health from an early age. 

In this context, this TECH postgraduate diploma will focus on pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic diseases, also emphasizing the Comprehensive Approach to the Anterior Segment. The physician will address palpebral pathology (general conditions and congenital ptosis), and orbital pathology, including tumors. In addition, the challenges posed by congenital lacrimal obstruction, conjunctival pathology (infectious and inflammatory) and developmental disorders of the anterior segment will be analyzed. 

In addition, the evaluation of pediatric glaucoma (congenital and juvenile), as well as other, as well as other types associated with ocular pathologies. The specialist will also investigate pediatric uveitis, dividing it into examination and diagnosis, anterior, intermediate and posterior uveitis. Add to this the latest in diagnostic and treatment procedures for aniridia. 

Similarly, the graduate will be immersed in pediatric neuro-ophthalmologic conditions such as nystagmus, supranuclear and internuclear ocular motility disorders, congenital optic nerve anomalies, optic atrophy and optic nerve drusen. Finally, papillary edema, intracranial hypertension and pupillary abnormalities will be discussed. 

It is a program that will provide students with a solid theoretical foundation, preparing them for application in practical situations. This is achieved thanks to the leadership and support of an outstanding faculty, composed of experts with extensive professional experience. TECH offers access to the exclusive Relearning methodology, an innovative pedagogy based on the repetition of key concepts, ensuring an effective assimilation of knowledge.
