Description

An intensive and complete study of the different ophthalmologic pathologies affecting exotic animals that veterinarians may encounter in their practice" 

##IMAGE##

During this postgraduate diploma, the physiology of vision is analyzed by developing the factors involved in the visual process, taking into account the differences that exist in the animal world. Another aspect that is dealt with is ocular pharmacology, a wide field that contains many adversities, due to the anatomical specialties of the eyeball

In terms of treatment, the pharmacokinetics of the drugs and the choice of route of administration according to the desired site of action will be studied

Another fundamental aspect of this postgraduate diploma is the study of ophthalmologic examination and complementary tests, as well as specialized knowledge of the different diagnostic methods and their indications, coupled with the basic and essential instruments required for a complete ophthalmologic examination

The complete ophthalmologic examination will be discussed, starting with the anamnesis, the clinical history of the patient and the different procedures that can be used to reach a correct diagnosis. The most important procedures, tests and devices that facilitate an accurate diagnosis will be examined

In the final part of the postgraduate diploma, the anatomy of each species and the main alterations affecting each one of them will be covered, with specific study of the therapeutic methods of exotic species, all of which will lead to improved patient management and optimized results

You will learn the specific and advanced diagnostic protocols in Ophthalmology in Exotic Animals to be able to apply the most appropriate medical or surgical treatment in each case"
