The luminosity of the ring-ring version of the proposed electron-ion collider eRHIC is limited by the beam-beam effect on the electrons.Once the beam-beam Mushroom Drinks limit is reached, the luminosity no longer increases linearly with the bunch intensity of the ion beam, but begins to saturate and even drops again if the beam-beam tuneshift is Carb Caps increased further.To overcome this limitation we investigate a compensation scheme with an electron lens acting on the electron beam.

Using weak-strong simulations we find a possible luminosity increase of about a factor 2.
