This postgraduate diploma is a process of professional growth that will allow you to acquire the most updated knowledge and management of innovations in Eyelid and Conjunctival Surgery in Small Animals"

This postgraduate diploma covers specialized knowledge on the different diagnostic methods and their indications. The basic instruments required for a complete ophthalmologic examination will be reviewed.. Ophthalmologic examination will be discussed in detail, starting with anamnesis, clinical history of patients and the different procedures that can be used to reach a correct diagnosis.    

For the development of this comprehensive program, we examine the most important procedures, tests and devices that facilitate accurate diagnosis and analyze the most advanced complementary tests on the market, as well as their applications. The most appropriate examination techniques and protocols for the diagnosis of orbital and palpebral disorders are also developed. 

A further objective of this program is for the veterinary professional to specialize in performing anatomical dissections of the orbit from different approaches, which provide them with a precise anatomical vision to perform surgery with greater knowledge and skill. 

It offers a practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of both congenital and acquired palpebral alterations, as well as the latest advances in medical and surgical treatment, thereby allowing the veterinary professional to specialize in performing an anatomical dissection of the orbit from different approaches that allow for an accurate anatomical view. 

Due to the increase in pathologies related to the tear film, it is necessary for the clinical veterinarian to specialize in its exploration and in the identification of clinical signs, as well as the latest treatments for its restoration. That is why the learning process incorporates study of this area, thereby completing a specialization of maximum interest and quality.
