-- Introduction
Dr. Mark J. Weiss specializes
in the treatment
of glaucoma.
Glaucoma
is a dangerous
eye disease
that is caused
by increased
pressure
within the
eye. If left
untreated,
this serious
condition
can lead
to blindness.
Fortunately,
there are
many methods
of treatment,
including
medicated
eye drops,
laser treatments,
and surgery.
While these
methods do
not cure
glaucoma,
they can
effectively
control the
pressure
within the
eye and preserve
the patient's
eyesight.
Dr.
Weiss has
written a
wonderful
and informative
book for
patients, The
Patient's
Guide to
Glaucoma. Physicians
who would
like to provide
this useful
and informative
book for
their patients
may contact
