PRESENTATION
Visual therapy and sports visual training are areas of optometry that aim to promote better visual performance, with the aim of promoting visual health through the prevention and rehabilitation of visual changes. In terms of visual therapy, professionals can deepen their knowledge in relation to the implementation of treatment techniques that promote an improvement in visual abilities through exercises, the application of prisms and the use of programs on digital devices. In terms of sports visual training, the aim is to raise awareness of the techniques used to improve the visual performance of athletes as well as how to enhance athletes’ vision.
All diagnostic and treatment techniques currently used in the field of vision therapy will be studied in this postgraduate course, being addressed based on scientific evidence and the experience of the professionals involved. This postgraduate course will also have international professors who will contribute with their knowledge.
