University certificate
The world's largest faculty of veterinary medicine”
Introduction to the Program
A highly specific Postgraduate certificate program created to offer professionals a specialization that holds maximum interest in the care of crystalline lens pathologies in small animals"

The crystalline lens is the eyeball structure with the second-highest dioptric power. To allow light photons to pass through to the retina, the lens must be completely transparent. Any alteration in their shape, position or transparency will hinder the patient's vision, and possibly cause serious secondary intraocular disorders.
In this program, the classification of cataracts, both in origin and extent, will be discussed. The resolution of crystalline lens opacity requires intraocular surgery, but not all patients are successfully treated through this option, nor will all associated pathologies, so we will discuss in which patients, as well as how and when, it can be performed.
In addition, preparation of the ophthalmology operating room will be discussed, as well as that of the patient and postoperative control, which is essential to obtain good surgical results. Anesthesia for ophthalmic patients requires knowledge of the effects that pharmacological substances will have on globe position, intraocular pressure and other factors that may complicate or facilitate surgery. Loco-regional blocks can help us with these tasks, so we will learn about the main drugs used and their effects on patients.
