MReye group

advancing eye care through applied imaging science

We are a multidisciplinary research group embedded within the C.J. Gorter MRI Center, and the LUMC departments of Ophthalmology, Radiology and Radiation Oncology. We develop and evaluate new MRI techniques to advance care for patients with ocular conditions. Currently, a large part of our research focuses on uveal melanoma, the most common type of eye cancer in the Netherlands.

Main Research Topics

  • MRI for Ocular Oncology

    New MRI technologies to improve the care for eye cancer patients.

  • Ocular Proton Therapy

    Through MRI-based radiotherapy planning we aim to preserve more of our patients’ vision.

  • Visual Optics

    Patient-specific optical simulations to identify the causes of various ocular conditions.
