Introduction

Glaucoma is an eye disease that is characterised by a loss of vision as the consequence of damage to the secondary optic nerve, generally caused by increased intraocular pressure (PIO). This disease currently holds second place as one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.

This master’s degree aims to teach students to diagnose and treat glaucoma by following guidelines based on the scientific evidence available while also promoting clinical research.
