Work with children and adolescents with visual pathologies and become a factor of change towards a better quality of life in your patients by studying this TECH Postgraduate diploma" 

Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmology is responsible for studying the visual structural functions and their involvement with the brain of patients at an early age. In other words, it analyzes the ocular mobility, that of the cranial nerves and that of the structures that coordinate the eye movements, regularizing the integration with other sensory systems.

This Postgraduate diploma will seek to delve into Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmology by studying, mainly, the main pathologies that can occur in minors. Likewise, it will delve into its diagnostic approach and treatment.

On the other hand, the contents of this Postgraduate diploma 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.  In this way, you will be able to make a correct diagnostic approach for children by knowing the proper use of the most innovative technologies.

Finally, during the Postgraduate diploma will delve into the primary alterations of ocular motility (strabismus). All this with the aim of offering professionals the necessary knowledge about the primary alterations of eye motility and their therapeutic options in children and adolescents.

This knowledge can be acquired online, that is, without having to travel to any physical center to receive classes. Thus, you can continue with your academic process without giving up the rest of your daily activities. 

If you want to acquire deep knowledge in the different pathologies that compromise eye motility, then this Postgraduate diploma is for you"
