Neuro-Ophthalmology is a border discipline between Ophthalmology and Neurology. This means that both ophthalmologists and neurologists need to manage knowledge not strictly included in their specialty. In addition, some of the treatments available correspond to Neurosurgery. All this makes this subspecialty one of the most complex in the approach, which in some cases can only be multidisciplinary.

Therefore, this program will enable the student to correctly approach complex Neuro-Ophthalmological problems, which in many cases are potentially dangerous to the vision or even the life of patients.

On the other hand, the contents of this professional master’s degree have been elaborated by ophthalmologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, with the aim of enriching to the maximum the experience of the student. In this way, the professional will acquire diagnostic and therapeutic skills of the various Neuro-Ophthalmological pathologies known, including COVID-19. In this way, you will be able to make a correct diagnostic approach by knowing the proper use of the most innovative technologies.

Finally, the student will have the necessary knowledge to use the latest medical therapeutic options, make a coherent genetic advice or refer the surgical specialist to facilitate the resolution or improvement of the patient’s disease.

All this, taught in an online format and supported with rich multimedia content, which makes this program a fundamental resource in the training of neurologists and ophthalmologists who want to deepen knowledge of this subspecialty, and take their career a step further in this exciting field

It approaches the pathologies of vision and the central nervous system from a differential perspective thanks to the contents offered by this professional master’s degree”

Professional Master's Degree in Neuroophthalmology

The more the viewpoints on a subject are amplified, the greater the criteria for unraveling it. This is evident in the many ramifications of general medicine. Seeking to provide the graduate with a multidisciplinary approach that maximizes their skills, TECH Global University has brought together the best of two areas: the study of the eye and neurology. This is how the Master's Degree in Neuroophthalmology came about: a program of esteemed innovation that proposes to use the scientific advances of brain exploration in favor of one of the sectors that is most in demand in the labor market today: visual health. Working in a completely virtualized training, we will redefine your basic concepts to diagnose and treat eye diseases based on the anatomy and physiology that links the sense of sight to the nervous system. You will also be able to delve into various vascular and tumor pathologies, including certain manifestations of headaches and cranial neuralgia resulting from COVID 19. Right now you have within reach of your expectations an academic window to the world of professional work.

Dare to be a next-generation ophthalmologist

To see the text you are reading on screen right now is possible thanks to the optic nerve; the part in charge of converting images into nerve impulses that reach the occipital lobe of the brain to be processed. Sometimes, this nerve deteriorates due to conditions such as glaucoma or various types of neuropathies; this causes blurred or darkened vision, alteration of colors and the appearance of intense flashes of light. There is only one specialized branch that can diagnose and treat this problem: neuro-ophthalmology. And thanks to TECH you will be able to address it. Many other similar postgraduate courses are densely complex and require a face-to-face attendance in which long hours must be invested. Our methodology, on the other hand, being 100% online, offers the convenience that allows you to study at your own pace and at the times that best suit your routine. In addition, the way our content is structured and the unlimited access to informative documentation allow you to acquire more knowledge with less effort. Do you want to be a witness on your own?
