Children have a unstable, evolving visual system that is sensitive to their environment. Therefore, all optometrists working with children must be able to prevent, detect, treat and, if necessary, refer patients to the appropriate professional. Today's society forces more and more frequent use of near vision, and this may be the cause of visual dysfunctions in children. 

Research is essential for the development of science and, especially, in the health sciences. Optics and Optometry, as a health profession, require continuous research to improve the visual health of the population, applying evidence-based practices.

Biostatistics is a fundamental tool for any health professional interested in research or who has a critical spirit towards new procedures and publications. 

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 Pediatric Optometry 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 training 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. 

In conclusion, this postgraduate certificate provides professionals with the theoretical and clinical knowledge necessary to address any of the specialties within Optics and Optometry, as well as opening the door to clinical research. 

This postgraduate certificate in Pediatric Optometry will help you keep up to date to provide comprehensive quality care to patients”

Postgraduate Certificate in Pediatric Optometry

The treatment of visual disturbances in children requires a series of solid theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the functioning of the optical system during this stage and the most effective techniques for the detection of such imperfections. For this reason, at TECH Global University we have created this Postgraduate Certificate in Pediatric Optometry, whose curriculum covers the principles of aberrometry, the metrics for measuring visual quality and the classification of clinically significant aberrations, with special emphasis on external and internal ocular aberrations. Subsequently, everything related to aberrometric changes induced on the cornea and those induced by crystalline lens surgery and intraocular lens implantation is covered. This syllabus will allow students to acquire the necessary skills to evaluate, diagnose and perform interventions according to the age of the patient and the respective evolutionary stage of their visual status. At a more advanced stage and based on the data collected during their consultations, they will also be able to plan specific comprehensive prevention strategies. Thanks to this, at the end of the program, our students will perform outstandingly in the exercise of their work, responding adequately to the requirements of their patients.

Postgraduate studies in Optometry

Studying this Postgraduate Certificate in Optometry is an opportunity to be completely introduced in the daily practice of this specialty, since it offers the indispensable tools for the approach of refractive and accommodative defects. Throughout this academic course, professionals will master from the preparation of reports for pre-diagnosis (medical records, referral reports, interprofessional communication) to the establishment of parameters for the consolidation of optometric goals of the population. This acquired knowledge will enable them to assess the ocular structure of infants, taking into account the impact of the neurophysiological basis of vision on the different visual skills. Likewise, the graduate of the Postgraduate Certificate in Pediatric Optometry will be qualified to perform anomaly evaluation procedures (based on the metrics of Zernike coefficient, Strehl ratio, CSF, MTF and RMS) and to prescribe orthokeratology interventions, centered or decentered treatments, laser ablations and surgeries.
