EyeNED Reading Center is a joint initiative of Erasmus MC and Radboudumc. The ophthalmology department of the Erasmus MC has a long track record in grading retinal images, tracing back to the start of the Rotterdam study in 1995.
As of 1989, ophthalmology has been part of the Rotterdam Study. Retinal images of up to 8 study visits with a 4 to 5-year interval have been collected thus far. The images are being used for research focused on AMD, myopia and glaucoma.
