Robert M. Verdijk is a senior consultant in ophthalmic pathology and neuropathology at the Erasmus MC University Medical Center, the Leiden University Medical Center, and the Rotterdam Eye Hospital in the Netherlands. He received his training in biomedical sciences and medicine at Leiden University, followed by a Ph.D. in immunology. He did a residency in pathology at the Erasmus MC University Medical Center with a focus on ophthalmic pathology. His research focuses on the pathobiology of ocular malignancy, inflammatory disease, and periorbital xanthogranulomas. He is a member of the editorial board for the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Eye and Orbit (5th edition) and contributed to the WHO Classification of Pediatric Tumors (5th edition). He is a member of the European Ophthalmic Pathology Society (EOPS), president of the working group on ophthalmic pathology of the European Society of Pathology (ESP), and honorary secretary of the Ocular Oncology Group (OOG).

Collection Overview
This Methods Collection aims to enhance the approach for dissecting and processing ophthalmic pathology specimens. Ophthalmologists conduct detailed clinical examinations of the eye in vivo, supplemented by a range of high-resolution imaging modalities. As a result, they rely on high-quality pathology feedback to complete the clinicopathological loop and provide precise prognostic information.
This collection seeks to cover the processing of both larger specimens, such as enucleation and orbital exenteration samples, as well as smaller ones, like pentagonal excisions of the eyelid, conjunctival samples, and corneal specimens. Some of these specimens are relatively small and difficult to handle, with a proven loss rate during processing. The videos in this collection will demonstrate techniques to overcome these challenges. We will present both neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathology specimens for guidance and reference.
