Una parte importante de los fracasos a nivel académico en los infantes se debe a problemas visuales que no han sido diagnosticados ni tratados de manera correcta. Se trata de una etapa clave en el aprendizaje, cuando más necesitan desarrollar sus capacidades físicas y cognitivas, por lo que una buena salud ocular es imprescindible. En este sentido, las revisiones y las terapias se deben realizar de forma periódica, para así corregir las patologías que perjudiquen la visión de los niños.
En este contexto, TECH pone a disposición del médico lo último en estudios e innovación en el campo de la Oftalmología Pediátrica. Esta Postgraduate diploma desarrollará un enfoque integral de la evolución de la visión, desde el período embrionario hasta la infancia. Además, el especialista dominará la electrofisiología ocular y otras pruebas diagnósticas importantes en el contexto pediátrico.
Asimismo, el egresado ampliará sus competencias en las afecciones oftalmológicas relacionadas con el sistema nervioso, incluyendo el diagnóstico y el tratamiento en niños. Se profundizará en patologías como el nistagmo, los trastornos supranucleares e internucleares de la motilidad ocular, las neuropatías ópticas hereditarias, la atrofia óptica, las neuritis ópticas y el pseudopapiledema.
Igualmente, el alumno abordará la interacción entre las afecciones oculares y las enfermedades sistémicas en pacientes pediátricos. Por lo tanto, se sumergirá en la investigación de las facomatosis y neurofibromatosis, así como en los trastornos intrauterinos e infecciones perinatales y otras patologías sistémicas, como el albinismo y el Síndrome de Marfan. Finalmente, se le dedicará un espacio al traumatismo ocular pediátrico y al síndrome del niño maltratado.
Se trata de un programa que combina una metodología revolucionaria, el Relearning, con un contenido multimedia de la más alta calidad. TECH ofrece dinamismo y comodidad en su modalidad 100% online, siendo así una titulación muy flexible, sin restricción de horarios. Tan solo se necesita un dispositivo electrónico con conexión a internet para acceder fácilmente a la plataforma virtual.
Analizarás las bases del desarrollo de la visión en niños, desde la etapa embrionaria hasta la infancia, a través de las 450 horas de esta titulación”
