The health of your patients' eyes is in your hands. Update your knowledge with this postgraduate diploma and offer them a better guarantee of recovery with the latest treatments in Ophthalmology"

The causes that can provoke a palpebral, orbital and tear duct trauma are varied: accidents, blows, fights, etc. In addition, the severity of the injury can involve from partial to total loss of sight, which is why the imminent intervention of an Ophthalmology specialist specialized in the orbital area is essential. Thanks to the advances that have been made in this field, professionals nowadays have countless diagnostic tools and strategies, which are increasingly effective, as well as treatments ranging from surgery to the use of specific drugs.

As it is a changing and wide-ranging science, TECH has considered it essential that the graduate has a degree that allows them to keep up to date with all the new developments in this area. Thus was born this postgraduate diploma in Orbital Pathology and Orbito-Palpebral Trauma Management, a complete 6-month program that includes 450 hours of the best theoretical, practical and additional material.

It is a degree designed by experts in Ophthalmology and Surgery that covers the newest aspects of palpebral and orbital trauma, as well as the most effective and less invasive exploration techniques for the patient that are currently being used. It also delves into inflammatory and infectious diseases of the orbit, as well as tumor and vascular pathology affecting the eye, deepening its surgical approach.

It is, therefore, a comfortable and versatile option to get up to date thanks to its accessible 100% online format, which will allow the graduate not only to connect to the Virtual Classroom from anywhere and with any device with internet connection, but also to adapt the schedule to their availability. This way, they will be able to combine it perfectly with any other academic, work or personal activity.
