experto universitario vias lagrimales manejo cavidad anoftalmica

Las patologías de las Vías Lagrimales y el manejo de la cavidad anoftálmica constituyen un desafío clínico de gran relevancia en la oftalmología actual, ya que afectan tanto a la función ocular, como a la calidad de vida y bienestar del paciente. De hecho, la obstrucción lagrimal, las alteraciones en la producción de lágrimas o la rehabilitación de la cavidad tras la pérdida del globo ocular requieren un abordaje especializado, en el que se integren técnicas diagnósticas avanzadas, protocolos quirúrgicos innovadores y una atención multidisciplinar capaz de garantizar resultados funcionales y estéticos satisfactorios. 

Ante esta realidad, TECH ha diseñado esta Postgraduate diploma en Tear Ducts and Anophthalmic Cavity Management que combina la teoría con la práctica clínica. Mediante un plan de estudios integral, se abarcará desde la anatomía y fisiología del sistema lagrimal, hasta el abordaje de obstrucciones congénitas y adquiridas, la cirugía dacriológica, el uso de prótesis oculares y la reconstrucción de la cavidad anoftálmica. Asimismo, se profundizará en el análisis de complicaciones, en el manejo integral del paciente y en la aplicación de técnicas mínimamente invasivas que reflejan los avances más recientes en la disciplina. 

Gracias a estos contenidos, los profesionales podrán ampliar sus competencias clínicas y acceder a nuevas oportunidades de crecimiento laboral. Asimismo, este programa universitario no solo permitirá perfeccionar las habilidades en diagnóstico y cirugía, sino que también capacitará para liderar proyectos asistenciales, implementar protocolos actualizados y ofrecer un servicio diferenciado con altos estándares de calidad. Así, se fortalecerá de manera significativa la proyección profesional de los egresados. 

Finalmente, la titulación universitaria se desarrollará bajo una modalidad 100% online que facilita la compatibilidad entre la capacitación y las responsabilidades personales o laborales. A su vez, el acceso permanente a los materiales desde cualquier dispositivo con conexión a internet garantizará flexibilidad y autonomía, mientras que la metodología Relearning optimizará la asimilación de conceptos a través de la reiteración estratégica, asegurando una experiencia académica dinámica, eficiente y orientada a la excelencia.

Postgraduate Diploma in Tear Ducts and Anophthalmic Cavity Management

The Postgraduate Diploma in Tear Ducts and Anophthalmic Cavity Management is a Postgraduate Diploma program that responds to the needs of the ophthalmology sector and seeks to prepare professionals who can perform effectively in the field of ocular medicine. The aim of the study is to equip students with the skills, knowledge and competencies necessary to effectively address the care of patients with disorders and alterations in the lacrimal pathways and anophthalmic cavity. During the course of the programme, students will have the opportunity to delve into topics such as the anatomy and physiology of the lacrimal ducts, the identification of the most common pathologies affecting these structures, the diagnostic and therapeutic methods available, as well as the comprehensive care of patients who have undergone ocular reconstructive surgery. In addition, special attention will be paid to the management of the anophthalmic cavity, a topic of great importance in the management of patients with ocular loss. Participants will learn about available ocular prostheses and their placement, surgical considerations for the management of the anophthalmic cavity, as well as the comprehensive care and post-surgical follow-up of patients with this condition.
