The latest advances in the area of optical technologies and clinical optometry compiled in a highly efficient postgraduate certificate that will optimize your effort with the best results” 

Refractive surgery is increasingly present in our society. Advances in techniques, instrumentation and the extensive clinical experience of the professionals involved have made it a safe and effective option for visual correction. The optometrist, as a specialist in the ocular optical system, is a professional especially qualified to form part of surgical-refractive teams. For this reason, more and more optometrists are being hired by ophthalmology clinics or hospital ophthalmology departments to perform preoperative tests, give advice and optometric support to the refractive surgeon, and carry out follow-up visits after the operation. 

Amblyopias are among the main causes of decreased vision in the general population. These appear as an alteration in the development of vision at an early age, affecting not only visual acuity, but also many visual functions. The importance of detecting amblyopia lies in the fact that, if they are not treated, and the sooner the better, they will continue to affect visual function throughout life. 

Continuous training in the latest optometric technologies and treatments is essential in professional updating, preparing to take on jobs that are increasingly integrated into the healthcare system, both public and private. 

The postgraduate certificate in Optometric Procedures in Corneal, Intraocular and Cataract Refractive Surgery covers the main fields of optometrist action, always highly updated and with a first level teaching staff. The study plan has been designed from the perspective and experience of experts highly specialized in their modules, and immersed in the clinical world, which has led us to know the current and future training challenges. 

This postgraduate certificate has been clearly and robustly directed to the clinical field, preparing students to develop in this field with extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in optometry. 
Students will follow modules, each of them structured in 10 topics. Each topic consists of a theoretical introduction, explanations by the professor, activities, etc., in such a way that learning becomes an enjoyable journey to high-level knowledge in Optical Instrumentation and Clinical Optometry.
