Screening and treatment of ocular pathologies in infants are critical to ensure healthy visual development from an early age and avoid lifelong visual disorders. Regular ophthalmologic examinations are essential to identify and treat any problems proactively, allowing to adapt specific intervention strategies for each child. For all this, it is vital that the physician is updated in the most effective practices of Pediatric Ophthalmology. 

In this context, TECH offers specialists a program thanks to which they will acquire in-depth knowledge in refraction, amblyopia and congenital cataracts, investigating the functioning of the visual system in children. They will also investigate optics, addressing ametropia and accommodation disorders. Not to mention leukocoria as a sign of various ocular pathologies, providing guidelines for its evaluation. 

Likewise, the professional will delve into the complexities of retinal disorders and their treatments. Diseases such as retinoblastoma, pathologies related to prematurity and hereditary disorders will be analyzed. Also, retinal vascular anomalies, acquired disorders and retinal detachment in the pediatric age will be discussed. 

Likewise, students will be invited to dive into the diagnosis and therapies to treat infantile strabismus. They will bew able to differentiate each type, including endotropias, exotropias and vertical strabismus. In addition, they will examine alphabetic patterns and congenital cranial disinervative disorders. Finally, oculomotor palsies will be discussed in depth, presenting the non-surgical treatment options as well as the available surgical interventions. 

This postgraduate diploma will provide the graduate with a robust theoretical foundation, supported by its practical application in the real world. With the support of an outstanding team of experts in Pediatric Ophthalmology, the best academic results will be assured. TECH offers access to a revolutionary learning methodology: Relearning, which is based on the repetition of key concepts for an effective assimilation of knowledge.
