Introduction to the Program

Are you a Refractive Surgery professional looking for quality training? The Postgraduate certificate in Decision Algorithms in Refractive Surgery is for you. With a complete syllabus and an innovative methodology based on Relearning”

Refractive surgery is an increasingly common surgical procedure to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. In order to perform this intervention, it is necessary to take into account a series of factors and variables, and therefore a Decision Algorithm is required to make the best decision for each patient. This is why the Postgraduate certificate on Decision Algorithms in Refractive Surgery is presented, which seeks to provide health professionals with complete and updated knowledge on this subject.

The importance of this program lies in the need for health professionals working in the field of Refractive Surgery to have solid training in order to ensure the success of each surgical intervention and patient satisfaction. With the increasing demand for Refractive Surgery, it is necessary to have specialized and updated professionals in this field.

During the Postgraduate certificate, topics such as refractive stability, contraindications, conjunctivopalpebral and corneouveal pathology, peripheral corneal ectasia and ulcers, dry eye, binocular vision and intraocular pressure alterations, among others, will be addressed. Students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into each of these topics and learn how to apply the Decision Algorithms corresponding to each case.

The methodology of the program is based on theoretical and practical classes, through which students will learn first-hand the application of Decision Algorithms in Refractive Surgery. In addition, the learning process will be promoted through an innovative methodology such as Relearning. Professionals who complete the degree will be prepared to apply what they have learned in clinical practice, thus improving the quality of medical care in the field of refractive surgery.
