Become a doctor able to detect the various pathologies that affect the optic nerve with this program. In this way you can position yourself at the top of your profession" 

Neuro-Ophthalmology is a border discipline between Ophthalmology and Neurology. This means that both ophthalmologists and neurologists need to manage knowledge not strictly included in their specialty. In addition, some of the treatments available correspond to Neurosurgery. All this makes this subspecialty one of the most complex in the approach, which in some cases can only be multidisciplinary.

Therefore, this program will enable the student to correctly approach complex Neuro-Ophthalmological problems, which in many cases are potentially dangerous to the vision or even the life of patients.

On the other hand, the contents of this professional master’s degree have been elaborated by ophthalmologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, with the aim of enriching to the maximum the experience of the student. In this way, the professional will acquire diagnostic and therapeutic skills of the various Neuro-Ophthalmological pathologies known, including COVID-19. In this way, you will be able to make a correct diagnostic approach by knowing the proper use of the most innovative technologies.

Finally, the student will have the necessary knowledge to use the latest medical therapeutic options, make a coherent genetic advice or refer the surgical specialist to facilitate the resolution or improvement of the patient’s disease.

All this, taught in an online format and supported with rich multimedia content, which makes this program a fundamental resource in the training of neurologists and ophthalmologists who want to deepen knowledge of this subspecialty, and take their career a step further in this exciting field

It approaches the pathologies of vision and the central nervous system from a differential perspective thanks to the contents offered by this professional master’s degree”
