Introduction to the Program

Incorporate the latest advances in refractive surgery into your daily practice, and improve care for your patients"

Several procedures have been used throughout history to achieve emmetropia in patients with refractive errors. Initially, surgical incision techniques were used to correct myopia, but in order to perfect these techniques with the least possible trauma, surgical lasers were developed. Surgery to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism has achieved excellent results in terms of efficacy, stability and safety. The most commonly used techniques are keratorefractive with excimer laser for the surgical treatment of mild and moderate ametropia, while in high-degree ametropia and in patients with corneas of insufficient thickness for laser treatment, the use of intraocular techniques is increasing.

The correct approach to refractive surgery involves careful and detailed study of the patient's eye characteristics, as well as his/her general and psychological characteristics, and selection of the appropriate technique by the physician. 

That is why we have created this Refractive Surgery Update Postgraduate certificate, which aims to update ophthalmologists’ knowledge of refractive surgical techniques in a practical way;  techniques that, either because they are so recent or because they require such a high degree of expertise, have not been addressed in specialty training.
