Description

A postgraduate diploma that will allow you to update in 6 months in the laser techniques used in Refractive Surgery”

##IMAGE##

The introduction of advances in laser technology, new types of intraocular lenses and more precise surgical techniques have given Refractive Surgery a major boost. Thus, many patients with Myopia, Astigmatism or Hypermetromia have benefited from it, and other more complex clinical cases such as Glaucoma have also improved in recent years.

These relevant achievements for people's visual health, as well as the new surgical and medical treatments in Refractive Surgery are brought together in this 6-month postgraduate diploma with the most advanced syllabus in the current academic panorama.

It is a program that is made up of an excellent team of ophthalmologist specialists with accumulated surgical experience and the implementation of the most precise procedures. In this way, students will be able to be aware at the end of this degree of the advances in Crystalline Refractive Surgery, Corneal Refractive Surgery, phakic lenses and the approach to patients with Glaucoma through this surgery.

An academic tour that also includes a Virtual Library composed of multimedia didactic material, complementary readings and simulations of case studies that provide greater dynamism.

A unique opportunity for updating through a flexible academic option that students can access whenever and wherever they wish. All you need is an electronic device with an internet connection to view this program at any time of the day. Thus, the professional will have greater freedom to self-manage his or her studies and will be able to balance his or her daily activities with a quality degree.

Video clips and detailed videos bring great dynamism to the update on surgical techniques and intraocular lens selection”
