Postgraduate Certificate on Low Vision and Geriatric Optometry

Visual impairment is not a new issue, although perhaps the dimension of the problem is a little known topic. According to the WHO, in a report issued in 2021, about one third of the world's population (about 2.2 billion people) suffer from some vision deficit. Of this figure, about one thousand cases (according to WHO estimates) could either have been avoided or have not yet been treated. A large part of the total number of people affected are older adults. The Postgraduate Certificate in Low Vision and Geriatric Optometry offered by TECH Global University is an academic proposal of the highest curricular value to face this problem. It is well known that the aging process involves changes in physiological systems that alter locomotor, sensory and neuronal processing functions, which is why organs such as sight are affected. More and more people are required to deal with this aspect and the online Postgraduate Certificate we have designed guarantees you the ideal knowledge to develop with full confidence in this area so requested in the ophthalmologic world.

Become an expert on geriatric optometry

Advances in the field of eye health demand a continuous updating of the intervention processes by the graduate. The obstacle in this matter is that the academic programs offered for this purpose are generally extensive, face-to-face and with fixed schedules that leave aside any other activity that is planned to be performed. Here at TECH we offer you the possibility of training in one of the most popular areas in the visual health sector in a brief, 100% online way and with total time flexibility that allows you to carry out other activities. We also have a teaching team with remarkable experience in ophthalmology that will accompany you through ten topics, each one of them broken down in a relevant way. You will learn about the conditions that cause low vision, ocular pathologies, the correct anamnesis in geriatric patients, notions about light in relation to sight, the optometric examination and training in geriatric patients, among many other useful topics. We encourage you to study with us and expand your vision towards new horizons of excellence and high-level professional development.
