A unique, key, and decisive educational experience to boost your professional development”

Postgraduate Diploma in Macula, Retina and Vitreous Surgery

Macula, retina and vitreous surgery is a set of surgical procedures performed to treat medical and ocular problems in these specific areas of the eye. This academic program focuses on providing a solid and comprehensive training in surgical techniques and postoperative care specific to macula, retina and vitreous surgery. Students will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the eye, as well as the methods of diagnosis and evaluation of retinal and macular pathologies. In addition, they will be taught advanced surgical techniques for retinal detachment repair, postoperative care and functional recovery. At the end of the program, students will be trained to apply advanced surgical techniques in macula, retina and vitreous surgery and postoperative care to provide satisfactory visual reintegration in patients.

Ocular problems

Macula, retina and vitreous surgery is used to treat a variety of eye problems, such as retinal detachment, macular hole, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization and other conditions related to the health of the retina, vitreous and macula. Surgery of the macula, retina and vitreous can include a variety of procedures, from vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous inside the eye) to injection of drugs that help reduce macular edema or neovascularization. Adequate and early detection of these complications is essential to ensure a satisfactory recovery and avoid recurrent problems.

Retinal, macular and vitreous surgery is a constantly evolving field, it is important to keep up to date on the latest advances in surgical technique and innovative treatments.
