The Department of Ophthalmology at UMC Utrecht comprises all sub-specialties. Each year, more than 75,000 consultations and 3,000 surgeries are performed. The Department focuses on top-referral and top-clinical care, in which complexity and variation are high. The outpatient clinic is organized along three lines of care: child-orbita-neuro-ophthalmology, posterior segment (uveitis, medical retina, vitreoretinal surgery), and anterior segment (corneal pathology, complex cataract surgery, glaucoma). The department's research is anchored in the UMC Utrecht’s strategic spearpoints: Child Health, Cancer, Regenerative Medicine, Infection and Immunity, and Circulatory Health.
