Robert Wisse is a clinician-scientist devoted to innovation, research and teaching. His clinical sub specialisation is in corneal pathology and surgery, including corneal transplantations, complex cataract surgery, and anterior segment reconstructions. He is the director of the Utrecht corneal fellowship program, vice director of the Utrecht ophthalmology residency program, director of the Utrecht Cornea Research Group, secretary of the Dutch Cornea Society, board member of the Professional Advocacy Commission of the Dutch Ophthalmic Society, and vice-president of Vision 2020 NL. The Utrecht keratoconus clinic has been awarded a Center of Excellence by the Netherlands Federation of Universities.

He has a broad track record in research, with both biomedical (corneal immunology), clinical (keratoconus & transplantations), and cost-effectiveness studies (HTA). His current projects revolve around the application of new technology in ophthalmology and the digitization of healthcare. Whether very specialized high-end intra-operative Optical Coherence Topography for corneal surgery, machine learning algorithm development on big clinical data sets, or the broad adoption of remote eye care: Robert has a keen eye for putting the patients perspective central. Will new technology make our healthcare better, more accessible, and more affordable?

His ambition is to prepare the field of eye care professionals for the ever greater healthcare demands. To this end, innovation and inter-disciplinary collaboration go hand in hand. This is reflected in his co-development of TeleTriage: an innovative new method for blended medicine and inter-professional collaboration. The tools for remote care are developed @ Easee: an Amsterdam based medtech software company that hosts a unique platform for remote eyetesting: the world’s first CE approved tool to remotely determine refractive errors. The platform is available for integration in clinical and commercial digital environments.
